(3) K-3 Illustrated by S. D. Schindler. Like Kay Thompson's Eloise, Amanda Dade is a girl of justified self-importance: through humorous rhyming verse, we're informed that, while various townsfolk participate in the New Year's revelry, it's Amanda Dade who "led the parade"--en point and sporting a tutu, at that. The pastel-on-black illustrations capture perfectly the solidarity known among even the coldest of New Year's Eve celebrants.
