Alvin Ho! Love this kid!

I am embarrassed to admit that even though Alvin Ho been around since 2008 with this first book, Alvin Ho:  Allergic to Girls, School and Other Scary Things, I just read this now!  What a wonderful, wonderful series.  Alvin Ho is incredible.  He is loving and kind and normal!  Which means he does get into a lot of jams.  But man...this is a great book.  Alvin is a second grader, but I think that kids all the way up through fourth grade would love him.  Even kids who are 42, like me.  The thing about Alvin is that he is afraid, and therefore claims to be allergic to pretty much everything.  He goes to a psychotherapist to help with his fears.  I love it that he thinks that a psychotherapist is a psycho that helps you with your problems.  He is a smart kid!  He's an Asian-American so there a lot of neat things to learn about the culture.  What a great, great series.  As you will see, I am already on the fourth one now!
