Miss Viola lives in a little lavender house with bright white shutters and a white picket fence. Uncle Ed Lee lives in a little red house with hanging black shutters and a leaning mailbox. Miss Viola is neat as a pin. Uncle Ed Lee is junky as a pack rat. They are opposites, through and through. But Uncle Ed Lee wants to become friends with Miss Viola. Now, how can that be? Their young neighbor Bradley sees that friendship can take many forms one Saturday afternoon on Joubert Street.

About the Author
Alice Faye Duncan is a school librarian and the author of The National Civil Rights Museum Celebrates Everyday People and Willie Jerome.

From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 2?It's "Story Day" at Bradley's school, and he tells his class about how he helped two of his elderly neighbors become friends. Miss Viola is as "neat as a pin," while Uncle Ed Lee is as "junky as a pack rat." When the man tells Bradley that he would like to meet Miss Viola, the boy passes the message on, but the woman insists that her neighbor must "do something about that messy yard" before she will even consider a visit. Uncle Ed Lee cleans up his act and invites her and Bradley over for lemonade. Stock's realistic illustrations, rendered in soft watercolors, portray tenderness between these African-American characters despite their differences (right down to Uncle Ed Lee's dog and Miss Viola's cat). Told in Bradley's informal voice, the narrative makes the boy's friendship with his two neighbors believable and points out that opposites do attract. This upbeat tale will fill a multitude of requests (e.g., intergenerational stories and friendship) and makes a nice choice for reading aloud.?Olga R. Barnes, Public Library of Charlotte & Mecklenburg County, NC
