Try These “Read-Alikes”
WITS staff spend a lot of time reading and talking about books with students. WITS coordinates programming with kindergarten-eighth graders, making staff well-versed in finding new favorite books for every age group. If you’re looking for gifts for young readers, try these “read-alikes.”
- For fans of Elephant and Piggie’s hilarious stories of friendship, try the
“Ballet Cat” and “Pig in a Wig” series. - If the child in your life loves the smart, silly adventures of “Princess in Black,” check out the “Gum Girl” and “Salem Hyde” series.
- For first-third graders clamoring for scary stories, try the newly re-illustrated “In a Dark Dark Room” and the brand-new “Desmond Cole Ghost Patrol” series.
- Fans of the “Who Would Win?” nonfiction series will love “Animal Smackdowns” and the “True or False” series.
- For admirers of Raina Telgemeier’s coming-of-age graphic novels, check out the slightly-magical “Pashmina” and the Berrybrook Middle School books.
- For kids who have already read every “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” or “Dork Diaries” book, check out “Gabby Garcia’s Ultimate Playbook” and the “Sam Wu” series.
- For kids who loved “Wonder,” try “See You in the Cosmos” and “Counting by 7s”
