When Vera Was Sick

(2) K-3 Poor Vera has spots everywhere, "even between her toes and inside her ears." While the words capture her unhappiness and isolation, the pictures counter with playful animation and humor; for instance, Vera's toy bunny comically mimics the process of her recovery. Any child who's ever been sick and confined to bed will find this book right on the mark.
