(3) PS Disappointed with her busy family's less-than-excited reaction to her report card, Vera runs away from home to look for a "better family." Ultimately, hunger pangs lead Vera home to a frantic family who missed her very much. Rosenberry's gouache illustrations picture a hilarious and chaotic household; the characters' exaggerated facial and body expressions add a unique liveliness to the drama.
