My son loves this book. Even though he has had it for a few years and can read books that are more difficult he still enjoys this one. It's the story of a class that is planning to exchange pen-pal letters with an other school. But there is much more to the story . It teaches about learning to get to know someone before you prejudge them and how boys and girls can become friends. It also is about friends, bullies, and maintaining friendships out side of school with writing. It's a really great book. The art work is charming and my son thinks it's a scream! This would be a good book for either boys or girls. I feel it is also a good transition from books with only a few words per page to longer books. Even though there are 48 pages there are color pictures on everypage so it isn't intimidating. I think this would be a nice book as a gift before a child goes to sleep away camp because it talks both of making new friends and writing letters to stay in touch.
