Yoko

The charming, acclaimed book about a cat who is teased for the food she brings for school lunch--and that launched the beloved series about Yoko--is about accepting and embracing our differences. Mmm, Yoko's mom has packed her favorite for lunch today--sushi But her classmates don't think it looks quite so yummy. "Ick " says one of the Franks. "It's seaweed " They're not even impressed by her red bean ice cream dessert. Of course, Mrs. Jenkins has a plan that might solve Yoko's problem. But will it work with the other children in class? "This brightly colored schoolroom charmer is] a perfect book for those American-melting-pot kindergarteners who need to develop a genuine respect for one another's differences." --Publishers Weekly, starred review Don't miss the other stories about Yoko, including Yoko Finds Her Way
