Don't Grown-ups Ever Have Fun?

32 pp. | Little | April, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-316-14664-1 $$15.95
(4) K-3 The eldest of three children riffs on what she considers is wrong with her parents: they sleep late instead of playing, they're always tidying, etc. The book's target audience seems to be harried parents, as their kids will know that the school-age narrator wouldn't truly be confounded by her parents' ways. The loose, pastel-colored images feature humorous asides.
