I Wish I Had Freckles Like Abby
Tue, 05/13/2008 - 03:06 — Harold
This is an absolutely delightful story that captures the essence of the common childhood desire to be just like your best friend. In this book the main character, Rosa, not only wishes she had freckles like her friend Abby but tries to make them herself but it never quite works out the way she expects. The book is written in both English and Spanish and is a fun way to introduce children to another language. I Wish I Had Freckles Like Abby is highly recommended and wonderfully illustrated. Be sure not to miss the companion book, I Wish I Had Glasses Like Rosa.

My child really likes this book!
My child loves to hear this book read to her over and over again. She is in first grade and her best friend has a lot of freckles. Really deals with the issue of wanting to be like someone else very well. Of course, she is slightly prejudiced in favor of this book because her name is Abigail.
