review 1: My Heart is Laughing by Rose Lagercrantz is a lovely short chapter book about Dani whose best friend from school has moved away. Dani is trying to make new friends but seems to have gotten her signals crossed with a couple of girls in class. One thing leads to another until a very embarrassing episode happens at lunch with a bottle of sauce and the teacher. This would be a wonderful "relationship" book to share with children ages 5-9.
review 2: Dani's and her best friend, Ella, have moved away from each other and she misses her terribly. To make matters worse, two girls in school decide to be mean to her because the boy they like seems to like Dani better than them. She tries her best to ignore it and have a happy attitude, choosing to sit alone at lunchtime... more and concentrate on all the fun she has with her friend Ella when they are together. When the teacher makes Dani move to sit between the mean girls, they pinch her until her arms are red and sore. When she can take it no more, Dani reacts by squirting sauce on both girls--and a little bit on the teacher, too-- and then Dani is the one who is in trouble.While I am not sure the ending where Ella hides in her father's car and comes to visit is very realistic, that was really my only problem with this book. The characters are realistic, Dani is very sympathetic, and the bullying situation is handled well once the truth comes out. The line-drawing illustrations are adorable, as well. Girls who are just beginning smaller chapter books may enjoy this one. less
