The Two Tyrones

by Wade Hudson, Mark Page (Illustrator)

Tyrone Rashon Williams's excitement about the first day of the new school year wanes when he sees that everyone is wearing the same new sneakers he is so proud of, but it gets worse when a new student arrives who has his exact same name.

Reviews

[Teresa Selders · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is intended for students 5-8. (k-3rd grades). I would choose this book for the classroom because it would be a great read at the beginning of school year if there are children in the class with the same name. I like that the children are able to solve their own issue when deciding what to be called i n the classroom when they both have the same names. At the end of this book the author suggest that the children write or tell of their experiences on the first day of school. this would be a good ice breaker.
