Elisa Michaels, Bigger & Better

(2) 1-3 Illustrated by Debbie Tilley. Cozily bookended with episodes about Elisa, now seven, and her grandmother in Florida, these chapters in the lives of the Michaels family are easygoing and easy reading. There's one about a new babysitter, another where Elisa decides to eat nothing but chocolate all day long (she barely makes it past lunch). Hurwitz knows kids, and while she writes like everyone's favorite aunt, she's nobody's fool.
