Reviews

Tony Baloney, a little penguin, hopes for the best as he starts school, but it’s hard to follow all the new rules, and besides, accidents happen. Still, at the end of the day, he is proud to be crowned his classroom’s “Friendship Ambassador.” Fine-tuned, realistic dialogue and lively, digital illustrations make this an amusing take on the first day of school. Though the original Tony Baloney (2011) was a picture book, this sequel features a smaller format and four short chapters, making it accessible to advanced beginning readers as well as Tony Baloney fans still in the read-to-me stage. Preschool-Grade 2. --Carolyn Phelan
