Dear Mr. Henshaw

Resource Type

Book - Child

Description

"When, in sexond grade, Leigh writes to an author to tell him how much he 'liked' his book, he never suspects that he'll still be writing to him four years later. And he never imagines the kinds of things he'll be writing about. It's not easy being the new kid in town, with recently divorced parents, no dog anymore, and a lunch that gets stolen every day. Writing letters, first to the real Mr. Henshaw, adn then in a diary to a pretend Mr. Henshaw, may be just what he needs. This Newbery Medal-winning book, by the terrifically popular and prolific Beverly Cleary exhibits a subtlety and sensitivity that will be appreciated by any youngster who feels lonely and troubled during the transition into adolescence. Winner of numerous other awards, including two Newbery Honors, Cleary teams up with Caldecott winner Paul O. Zelinskym who creates a quiet backdrop for the realistic characters." From Amazon.com
