You're Doing That in the Talent Show?!

32 pp. | Disney/Hyperion | May, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4847-1491-1 $16.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Sue Cornelison. Best friends Penelope (an extroverted hippo) and Tiny (a shy mouse) try to prepare a "best-friend act" for the school talent show but run into a dilemma: Tiny doesn't want to be in the spotlight, while Penelope wants nothing else. Despite some didacticism, the story's repetitive structure, clearly defined personalities, and over-the-top thought bubbles will engage readers learning how to compromise with and support friends.
