Posy Bates Again

An excellent book, but American children may have difficulty with some of the British phrases. My daughter likes the character even better than Beverly Cleary's Ramona Quimby, whom she also loves. The plot in "Posy Bates Again" is funnier and more satisfying than "Meet Posy Bates" even though the ending merely leads you to read "Posy Bates and the Bag Lady." Highly recommended for girls aged 8-10, though some of the vocabulary may be challenging for the younger ones. As a read aloud, it's perfect for 7 and 8 year olds.
