Summary
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 isn’t always a good thing, Monty’s familiar adventures embody the gentle humor of everyday life.

What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Monty’s worries about his asthma underlie all he does, and the effect of these stories is gently reassuring: He hasn’t had an attack in some time and these new activities don’t bring one on. He even performs in a karate uniform without a pocket for his inhaler. Hurwitz also recognizes and deals with the first grader’s predictable stage fright. In the background, Monty’s gentle and affectionate parents reflect the tone of this warm collection, just right for able first-grade readers like Monty. Soft pencil drawings by McGrory (most not seen) will be interspersed throughout. Readers of Mostly Monty (2007) will appreciate the boy’s growing self-confidence (and, in particular, his father’s encouragement as he tries new things), but this title stands on its own.” —Kirkus Reviews
