Fun realistic story about a charming 1st grader named Harry. My 5-yo and I enjoyed reading this together.

I'm not really sure what the point of this book was. It was a cute story but Harry felt like he has way to much social-emotional maturity for a first grader. This book was written with simple sentences, which would be prefect or a first grader, but is way to long for their interest. Also, there is no real plot(in fact I found it missing a plot completely) or character development. Certain parts almost read like a demonstration for a teacher guide, but I hope that any first grade teacher who reads this is aware of sight words. I feel this book would have done better if written as a beginner chapter book series, Harry versus the First Grade and each book would highlight a different month. Overall, I found this book to be extremely lacking.
