(3) 1-3 Stepping Stone series. Adapted by Colleen AF Venable. Illustrated by Honie Beam. A misunderstanding about her new brother gets Junie in trouble. Her grandmother calling the boy the “cutest little money I’ve ever seen” convinces Junie that her mother has given birth to an actual primate. She tells her kindergarten classmates and begins to accept “gifts” for the opportunity to see the baby. Eventually, she ends up in the principal’s office and everything is sorted out. Venable’s graphic-novel adaptation is humorous, and Beam’s colorful digital illustrations effectively capture Junie’s expressiveness.
