The Adventures of Sugar and Junior

The Adventures of Sugar and Junior is a charming collection of four short stories by Angela Shelf Medearis. These stories tell, in simple but not babyish language, how Santiago Antonio Ramirez (also known as Junior) met Sugar, an African American girl his age, how Sugar got her name, the results of the pair's unsupervised first attempt at baking, their attendance at a scary movie, and the selection of ice cream cones. The uncluttered illustrations by Nancy Poydar complement the script perfectly. This book will be popular for story time and an excellent addition to any private or children's library collection.
