My Pal Victor

by Diane Gonzales
Illustrated by Robert L. Sweetland

        My Pal Victor is the story of two young boys who do everything together.  It seems to be about two ordinary boys, leaving until the last page, the astonishing fact that one of the boys is disabled. Dominic knows what makes a great friend. He joins in as Victor makes up great stories that play like movies in their heads. They enjoy jokes and swimming together, and Victor cheers Dominic on as he plays baseball. Dominic is in action on every page, and Victor is cheering him on.
 
This story shows that the boys enjoy each other's company and appreciate each other just as they are and accept each other without question. This book should be in every early education library, and part of the pre-school curriculum.  It is an outstanding character building read-aloud for bedtime or family time.  The colored pencil drawings of Bob Sweetland capture the charm and warmth of this story, and the visual panorama makes the story realistic.
