Review # 1 was written on 2019-04-22 00:00:00 Frank Gavrilos On moving day, Marcus makes a new friend. The text of this picture book is a poem, filled with sounds.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-09-05 00:00:00 Cathy Parrish When Marcus Moore moved into his new neighborhood, nobody was there. He went searching for people but there was no one in sight! Then... "Tap! Ta-tap!"... the most remarkable girl went jump-roping by. Then bicycling by. Then she banged a makeshift drum. Marcus was too nervous to say anything before the girl disappeared. However, one day she came back while it was pouring rain outside, that is when Marcus had hope again, and they began to form a friendship with one another! The great sound repetition throughout the book makes it a great read-aloud book and the illustrations can tie children's imaginations with what is really happening in the book. I would say that I would read this book to a 1st- 3rd grade class. The catchy rhyming and repeating on every page of "and at 44 MacDougal street when Marcus Moore moved in" makes the book fun for kids to read along too! The rich illustrations of a quaint Brooklyn neighborhood are perfect for the location of this story too! I enjoyed how all the neighbors came back at the end of the book and Marcus found a new friend!
