Meow Means Mischief<br />

Nagda, Ann Whitehead / Roth, Stephanie FIC .331 NAG<br />

In this beginning chapter book, Rana is worried about making friends at a new school <strong>and</strong> is self-conscious about<br />

her Indian-American heritage. She is also unhappy because her gr<strong>and</strong>parents will be staying <strong>with</strong> her <strong>and</strong> her<br />

sister while their parents are away for a week. When a stray kitten arrives on the scene, her mother doesn't want<br />

to keep it, but Gr<strong>and</strong>father reminds her that in India even the poor feed stray animals because, "We believe that<br />

God comes in many disguises." While Rana's parents are away, the kitten causes all sorts of problems, which<br />

Rana writes about in her school journal. After she reads an excerpt aloud in class, several schoolmates show up<br />

at her house to show her how to clean up hairballs, scare Tiger off the kitchen counter, <strong>and</strong> solve her other<br />

feline-related problems. In the process, Rana makes new friends <strong>and</strong> builds a better relationship <strong>with</strong> her<br />

gr<strong>and</strong>parents. The way a stray animal is able to help the main character work through problems is reminiscent of<br />

Kate DiCamillo's Because of Winn-Dixie (C<strong>and</strong>lewick, 2000), but this story is lighter, simpler, <strong>and</strong> for a slightly<br />

younger audience. The references to Indian culture are seamlessly worked into the plot. Gray wash illustrations<br />

throughout capture typical school activities <strong>and</strong> reflect the diversity of the characters. -from Library Journal<br />

Millie Waits for the Mail First Edition Steffensmeier, Alex<strong>and</strong>er / Steffensmeier, FIC .018 STE<br />

Millie is unlike most other cows. She chews her cud <strong>and</strong> grazes in the fields <strong>with</strong> the others, but she doesn't<br />

enjoy that nearly as much as she loves scaring the mail carrier. It's too bad the mail carrier doesn't have as much<br />

fun each time Millie comes up <strong>with</strong> a new way to surprise him. Who knew delivering the mail was going to be<br />

such a difficult job?<br />
