Danitra Brown, Class Clown

By Nikki Grimes

Book Overview

They may be best friends, but Zuri Jackson and Danitra Brown respond very differently to the start of school. For Zuri, there are so many things to ponder -- a new teacher who replaced the old one she liked so much, passing math, and worrying about her mother's health. But for Danitra, the only real deal is being true to herself, having fun, and supporting Zuri in any way she can. Multiple Coretta Scott King award winners Nikki Grimes and E. B. Lewis have poured their best into Danitra Brown, Class Clown . This third book starring Zuri and Danitra speaks to everyone who has faced the trials of a new school year.

Nice poems for elementary age kids

My 9 year old doesn't read poetry on his own, but likes the poems read to him from this book. He can identify with some of the age related feelings about school and friendship played out with Danitra and her friend. Funny and easy going.
