Edgar's Second Word

32 pp. | Clarion | June, 2014 | Trade ISBN 978-0-547-68462-8 $16.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Priscilla Burris. Hazel awaits Edgar's first word, eager for him to respond to the stories she reads to him. But Edgar turns out to be a "no-saying grump"--until his surprising, satisfying second word. Exuberant gestures and facial details in action-filled digital illustrations accentuate Hazel's refreshingly persistent enthusiasm for her baby brother, albeit occasionally in contrast to textual descriptions of Hazel's frustration.
