Harry sits on the porch with Mr. George Baker, an African American who is one hundred years old but can still dance and play the drums, waiting for the school bus that will take them both to the class where they are learning to read.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Friendship submitted by godzilla on June 26, 2019, 2:54pm Jon Muth's pale watercolors evoke a quiet autumn morning. A very sweet story about friendship. Would be a great read aloud for K-2. A good question to ask after reading would be "What makes someone your friend?" The story is told from the boy's perspective and his descriptions of his drummer friend have a very gentle rhythm. The story is very matter of fact and the images are simple, but show the two characters from varying points-of-view, adding interest and depth.
