Back to Front and Upside Down!

(4) K-3 While the animals in Miss Catnip's class are making birthday cards for the principal, dog Stan notes that "his letters came out back to front and upside down." There's canned coping-manual plotting (after Stan admits to his problem, he gets help from Miss Catnip), but there's also assiduous art, in which weather and background color help articulate Stan's fraught feelings.
