I enjoyed reading this book with my 5th grade daughter, who is in Japanese school, and thus only getting English input at home. "Song Lee" is a fairly easy read for her without being too babyish. The students are 2nd graders in the book but they could just as well be 4th or 5th graders. It was nice to have a character originally from another culture in Song Lee, who seems to have been born in Korea and emigrated to the USA fairly recently. As a child in a bicultural family, who looks a little different from her Japanese peers at school, I think my daughter appreciated the character of Song Lee. My only gripe is the rather sterotypical way in which Song Lee sometimes speaks--'Asian English' for want of a better word. However, it does show that she has come to the USA from another culture and is integrating. Her antics are amusing and show originality. Recommended.

This review is from: Song Lee in Room 2B (Paperback)
I think the Song Lee books are better than Horrible Harry. The stories are more balanced and entertaining. The other students are better drawn and Song Lee is a winning character.
