Where's Rodney? / Where is Rodney? by Carmen Bogan ; illustrated by Floyd Cooper. - 1 volume (unpaged) : color illustrations ; 29 cm
When a school trip takes him to a park, Rodney expects it to be as lackluster as the fenced grassy triangle near home. Instead, he discovers wide open spaces that are powerful and majestic. (Miller Library Staff) Rodney is that kid who just can't sit still. He's inside, but he wants to be outside. Outside is where Rodney always wants to be. Between school and home, there is a park. He knows all about that park. It's that triangle-shaped place with the yellow grass and two benches where grown-ups sit around all day. Besides, his momma said to stay away from that park. When Rodney finally gets a chance to go to a real park, with plenty of room to run and climb and shout, and to just be himself, he will never be the same.
Recommended for preschool (age 0-5) and primary school (age 6-12). Ages 4-8.
A Junior Library Guild selection, December 2017.
