Fans of King & Kayla and Charlie & Mouse will love this delightful beginning chapter book series that celebrates friendship every day of the week!
It's Sunday, and April and Mae are having their weekly tea party. Mae usually bakes goodies, and April always sings and dances. But this Sunday, April decides to try a new activity. When April's juggling causes her to break Mae's favorite teacup, the two friends navigate their first disagreement and eventually apologize and forgive each other.
With imagination and humor, Every Day with April & Mae brings all there is to know and love about friendship to life in a way kids can both relate to and learn from making this a perfect fit for young readers ready to step up from picture books.
This early-reader series follows best friends April and Mae through the week. In this first entry, short, repetitive sentences geared toward emerging readers tell the story of a tea party gone wrong when a juggling routine leads to a broken teacup and an argument. Digital illustrations showing the friends and their pets range from vignettes to double-page spreads. Also available: April & Mae and the Book Club Cake; April & Mae and the Soccer Match; April & Mae and the Talent Show. —The Horn Book
