(3) K-3 "No school, no homework, no practices--just a fun, don't-have-to-go-anywhere day with Momma and Papa!" Fox Ruthie's "Big Plans" for Saturday--blueberry pancakes, cartoons, planting, and baking--fall apart when unexpected obligations interfere. Pencil and watercolor vignettes capture Ruthie's relatable frustration and eventual elation when a flat tire prevents a dreaded excursion (and facilitates cookie-baking).
