Monty tries to master a magic kit and finds some real-life situations tricky in this spot-on story about an endearing, utterly relatable first-grader.
First-grader Monty is starting to feel very grown-up. But even an almost seven-year-old finds some things like a new magic kit trickier than expected. Whether involving his baby sister in his library project, losing a sneaker while marching with his karate class in the parade, or learning that an exciting afternoon isnt always a good thing, Montys familiar adventures embody the gentle humor of everyday life.
Johanna Hurwitz is the award-winning author of more than five dozen books for young readers, including the early-chapter-book series about first-grader Monty. She divides her time between Long Island, New York, and Wilmington, Vermont.
Anik McGrory is the illustrator of the Monty books, as well as several other books for children. She lives in Tarrytown, New York.
