PreS. The latest Robin Hill School story in the Ready-to-Read series brings preschoolers a drama from today's headlines. First-grader Emma is angry when the boys won't let her join the soccer game at recess. "Girls do not play soccer," they tell her. But her dad helps her figure out a plan. First, she organizes a girls' game to show that girls can play; then she convinces the boys to accept boy-girl teams. New readers will love the sports action and the angry face-offs ("Emma was furious"), and Gordon's line-and-watercolor cartoon-style illustrations show that even when everyone played together, "sometimes they had fights."
