review 1: The Miniature World of Marvin & James by Elise Broach, illustrated by Kelly Murphy – early chapter book – 2nd grade and up – Just love Elise Broach’s Masterpiece – I was curious to see how this book would work as an introduction to Masterpiece. I love how there isn’t explanation. There isn’t elaboration. There’s simply a story about two friends who have to adjust when one goes away for a week and the other is left behind. Wonderful beginning to a series, really hoping for more.
review 2: This story, based on the middle grade reader, Masterpiece by the same author, is a wonderful story of friendship and the worry of not being missed when friends are not around. James is going on vacation for a week and Marvin, the beetle, will miss James. But w... moreill James miss Marvin while he is having fun at the beach? Told from Marvin's perspective, we learn that James has made new friends (which is a good thing since James had few friends before this based on the other novel) but worries James will no longer be his friend. This is a story that all young children can relate to and is told in a beautiful soft voice that is not petulant or spoiled. less
