Just What Mama Needs

32 pp. | Harcourt | April, 2008 | Trade ISBN 978-0-15-205759-6 $16.00
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Amiko Hirao. Every day, Abby dresses up in a different costume--pirate, detective, and cowgirl, among other guises--before finally settling on being herself on Sunday. Mama finds a positive way to channel Abby's creative talents (e.g., asking the detective Abby to search for missing socks in the laundry). Cut-paper collage illustrations depict anthropomorphic canines going about their day in this warm-hearted tale.
