BUY THE BOOK
In this new book in the popular
Confetti Kids series, Padma and her friends create a buddy bench, where
kids can sit if they feel lonely and need a friend.
Five friends from diverse backgrounds learn how to navigate common childhood challenges, new experiences, and the world around them in the realistic and kid-friendly Confetti Kids early chapter books. In this story, Padma is excited about meeting new people at school. Making friends comes easily to her, but she soon discovers that it can be hard for others. When she notices a boy sitting by himself every day, Padma enlists her friends to create a buddy bench, where kids can go if they ever feel lonely and want a friend.
A delightful story about a group of children who create a buddy bench
where children can meet and make new friends. Padma is excited to start
school. She is the first of her friends to get to the school yard. Padma
is a charismatic and friendly child and makes friends easily. She
notices a boy all alone during recess. Padma then gets an idea to create
a buddy bench where new children can sit and make friends with the rest
of the kids. This beginning reader is broken into short chapters. This
novelty is great for children who are learning the concepts of
transitioning from one story line to the other. There are three to four
sentences on each page, which is just enough for kids getting familiar
with reading on their own. VERDICT This story teaches children how to be
a friend, especially to someone who needs a friend. A great addition
for school and public libraries. - School Library Journal
