Description Share Post Vicky and June: Friends at Play Patricia Toht, Hoang Giang (Walker Books) Do you have to be the same as your friend? Enjoy the same things? Play games the same way? Like similar foods? Then again, what about having the same favourite colour? Vicky and June: Friends at Play introduce this friendship on an inviting day, when Vicky’s seeking out her best friend. It seems that June’s reading, which is her favourite thing to do. However, Vicky likes playing. In fact, she wants to play Follow the Leader. However, what if Vicky’s always the leader? Then again, what if Vicky’s able to run really fast, while June’s better at Hide- and-Seek? That game’s not one of Vicky’s favourite. Will their friendship survive? Like the outstanding Bear and Bird series, Vicky andJune Friends at Play is warm, attentive and knowing. Then again, Patricia Toht demonstrates such nuance, care and insight, in her writing. This is celebrated through Hoang Giang’s spring lit illustrations. Bookwagon recommends this appealing introductory chapter book to readers building stamina and confidence. Not only does it have a series of chapters, but they interrelate so carefully. After all, don’t we all want to lure ducks with a ‘Waaa!’?
