Product Description

Book Description

School's out, and that means it's time for fun! Grace and her friends are always ready for a little adventure, and Grace's backyard is the perfect place to set up headquarters. Suddenly the lawn is transformed into the center ring of a big-top circus, then a hospital emergency room, and then a rocket launch pad. The gang's exploits, both real and imagined, provide all kinds of unexpected rewards-and might even land Grace on stage in a real theater production!

"This is sure to be a hit with fans of Amazing Grace and Boundless Grace. . . . [A] fast-paced choice." (School Library Journal)

5.0 out of 5 stars An exceptional "extension" to the award-winning picture book, Jun 11 2004

By	Reginald D. Garrard "the G-man" (Camilla, GA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

What better way to elevate and captivate elementary readers than to provide them with a chapter book that utilizes a character familiar from the pre-school years!!! "Starring Grace" takes Grace to another level, a story rich in language and real-life situations.

The book does not "talk down" to its reader; in fact, it uses vocabulary that is challenging and enlightening: troupe, megaphone, eccentric, conspirator, machete, paramedic, tibia, bougainvillea, and trilby, to list a few. It also presents concepts that can spurn discussion as well as enhance the reader's life experiences: witness protection, internment, and divorce.

Grace's adventures also display cooperativeness and the power of a child's imagination.

It also introduces the reader to events in history: the first landing on the moon and the horrors of World War II (implied). The problems of the elderly and that group remaining vital in their "declining years" are also addressed within this simple framework of good storytelling.

And who would think that this would come from a book with such chapter titles as: "Grace and the Big Top", "Grace Goes on Safari", "Grace Blasts Off", and "Grace the Detective".

I will, most definitely, be adding this one to my classroom library and my home.

I recommend that you do the same.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great excellent 100% Starring Grace, Jan 8 2004

By	Book club (Bowie, MD) - See all my reviews

I liked when Grace and her friends went to the other yard
and pretended they were in the jungle.Because they got
suppiles and stuffed animals and pretended they were real.
At the end they pretended that the yard was a secrect
garden and cleaned it up for the old woman. That is why I like the book.

I liked the book alot.I liked the book because it's summer and I like summer, and Grace plays alot of fun games. I would enjoy playing the same games she played. I like when Grace got flowers. She stared in a play for children.

I liked when Grace goes next door and acts like she was in the jungle. That reminded me about when my sisters and I were exploring. Read more
