Look, Lenore Alvin Ho: Allergic to Dead bodies, Funerals, and Other Fatal Circumstances, 197 p. Schwarts & Wade Books, 2011. $15.99 Language: G (0 swears, 0 'f') Violence: G, Mature Content: G. Book #4 in the Alvin Ho series, second grader Alvin has agreed to do the unthinkable: Attend the funeral of Gung Gung’s best friend with him. Alvin has never been to a funeral, and is very worried about what it will be like. His inability to talk at school leads to a huge misunderstanding.
This is the fourth book in this series, and while it seems pretty serious for a second grader, it is handled beautifully and is well resolved. Fun quick read. Although Alvin is a second grader, I would think the reading level may be better for 4th and up.
