(2) K-3 Illustrated by Michael Emberley. Narrator Missy eagerly anticipates Miss Brooks's morning Story Nook time. One morning when the power goes out, Miss Brooks has the kids tell their own stories instead. Missy begins a story that also helps work through her bullying problem--"An ogre lives down the street from me..."--and her punchy narration offsets the pat resolution. Pleasingly detailed pencil-and-wash illustrations give the characters distinct personalities.
