Coming soon (September 2005) to a bookstore near you is a brand new children's book that every family could benefit from. Getting to Know Ruben Plotnick is a book in which, as the publisher puts it, "silly meets senile" with charming results.

Ruben is the smartest, coolest, funniest, most popular boy in class - the one every other kid wants to be friends with. When he abruptly asks to go home with the narrator one afternoon, a young boy's heart drops through the floor. What will Ruben Plotnick make of the narrator's grandmother? She's a wonderful, older lady who, because of her slight senility, would be perfect fodder for The Plotnick's jests; the next day could see a whole new round of jokes making their way through the school, all at Grandma Rosie's expense.

What happens? Well, let me put it this way. Ruben Plotnick is a young man that I wouldn't mind getting to know.

This dustjacketed hardcover is lovely, filled with colorful illustrations that will make you smile. My favorites are the pictures of Grandma Rosie dancing.

The reading level is ages 5 to 9. I've asked that it be placed in the 9 to 11 category simply because I believe the message is one that 9- to 11-year-old children can especially appreciate.
