Don't Wear Polka Dot Underwear with White Pants: (And Other Lessons I've Learned)

(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Stevie Lewis. Second grader Mandy endures a series of social tribulations, from the revelation that her underwear can be seen through her pants to being denied the starring role in the Presidential Pageant. Gutknecht's sassy heroine and Lewis's spot cartoons will appeal to fans of Junie B. Jones and the like, though the plot--and accompanying lessons--feel formulaic.
