Amanda Pig, First Grader

It is time for first grade, and Amanda Pig is so excited. This year she won?t have to take naps, she?ll play on the big playground, and best of all, she will know how to read! But something is wrong, because when Amanda looks at her book, she recognizes the letters but not the words. Will she ever be able to read? In this funny installment of the award-winning Oliver and Amanda series, Amanda and her best friend, Lollipop, overcome nerves to discover what makes first grade so much fun. Jean Van Leeuwen and Ann Schweninger won an inaugural Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor for the previous book in the series, Amanda Pig and the Really Hot Day.
