| Ragweed & Poppy illustrated by Brian Floca |
I purchased Ragweed & Poppy by Newbery Award winning author, Avi a few years ago and have read and reread it. In an ideal forest adventurous mice, Ragweed and Poppy, form friendships, solve problems and exhibit leadership. This middle grade novel published in paperback in 2021 is 288 pages long. Caldecott winning artist Brian Floca rendered engaging depictions of mice and a tedious baby racoon in black and white throughout the book. While this is Book 2 in a series of 7, I read it first and as a stand-alone book; it is a fun book for all. Advanced readers will read above grade level and reluctant readers will enjoy the illustrations and mouse antics.

I used to read books by Avi. This must be a good one if you've read it so many times. And the cover is cute. Happy MMGM!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by. Avi's books are still fun and relevant.
DeleteHi Elizabeth, a sweet choice..Funny how some people push back against animal characters in picture books and yet here they are in MG.
ReplyDeleteHi Laura. Thank you for the comment. Seven books in a series definitely indicates numerous readers.
