Bianca likes writing letters and sending them through the mail. She also likes postage stamps. There's one thing Bianca doesn't like: Yolanda at the post office. Bianca is scared of Yolanda. Will she ever overcome her fear?
Thoughts: I also love a good story about mail and/or letters. I Do Not Like Yolanda is that and so much more. It's great to see Bianca conquer her fear and realize that Yolanda can be a friend. The illustrations are colorful, detailed, and make good use of white space. I love that all the details of Bianca's letters and envelopes are included. The letters that decorate the end pages are fun to read. For a mail themed storytime pair with The Thank You Letter by Jane Cabrera, Snail Mail by Samantha Berger, Meerkat Mail by Emily Gravett, A Letter for Leo by Sergio Ruzzier, The Day the Crayons Quit by Drew Daywalt, The Day the Crayons Came Home by Drew Daywalt, and Love, Mouserella by David Ezra Stein.
