K-3I Can Read Book series.
Illustrated by
Kelly Light.
Art-loving Louise must rethink her bake sale plans when little brother Art mixes all the icing colors together (Bake Sales); when Louise's cat scares the class guinea pig, Pigcasso, her brother saves the day (Class Pet). Emerging readers will appreciate the large font, ample white space, and appealing illustrations, but the subtle difference between art (noun) and Art (character) may confuse those unfamiliar with Louise's earlier picture books. Review covers these titles: Louise and the Class Pet and Louise Loves Bake Sales.
