Lowji Discovers America -- Candace Fleming

Dear Jamshed, <p/> American is not so different from what we thought. I told you I wouldn't see a single cowboy riding across the plain, and I haven't. <p/> I have not even seen a plain. <p/> Still there are some silver linings. They are: <p/> 1. Trapper and King, the cat and dog who live in the apartment building. They are cuddly and waggy. I am not allowed to play with them, though, because they are supposed to catch mice and keep burglars away. <p/> 2. Ironman. He owns a pig and talks to me a lot. But he is a grown-up. <p/> 3. Kids. I can hear them playing outside. Too bad they do not want to play with me. <p/> I wish you were here. <p/> Do you wish I was in India? <p/> Write back soon. <p/> Your friend, <br> Lowji<br><br><b>Author:</b> Candace Fleming<br><b>Publisher:</b> Aladdin Paperbacks<br><b>Published:</b> 06/17/2008<br><b>Pages:</b> 160<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.25lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 7.61h x 5.29w x 0.44d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781416958321<br><b>Audience:</b> Ages 9-12<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 3.1<br><b>Point Value:</b> 3<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Lower Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>85476 / Lowji Discovers America<br><br><p><b>About the Author</b><br>Candace Fleming is the acclaimed author of numerous books for children, including the Bulldozer books; <i>Ben Franklin's Almanac, </i> an ALA Notable Book and an ALA Best Book for Young Adults, as well as <i>Muncha!
