The One and Only Willa Bean by Cecilia Galante - ADVISABLE

Galante, Cecilia  The One and Only Willa Bean (Little Wings, book 4), 103 pages. Illustrated by Kristi Valiant. Random House, a Stepping Stone book, 2012.

Riding the cloud bus to Cupid school one day, Willa Bean meets a new girl who she tries to befriend. When she finds out that the new girl's special winged friend is an owl, just like hers, Willa isn't so sure how she feels about the girl who ruined the "onliest-ness" of her owl.

This is a cute story for readers not quite ready for some of the intermediate readers' series, like Magic Tree House or Rainbow Magic. The fantasy elements are lots of fun, and beginning readers will relate to the cupid's wish to be unique.
