Arnie and the New Kid
What's This Book About
Able-bodied Arnie teases Philip–a new student at his school who uses a wheelchair. However, after Arnie injures himself while making fun of Philip, he begins to understand what it means to be compassionate and welcoming. “This is a triumphant ending to a purposeful story that will be welcomed for its lighthearted treatment of a common situation. Carlson’s vividly colored cartoon illustrations feature a variety of animals humorously dressed in children’s clothes.” –School Library Journal
