I Need My Own Country!

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Wes Hargis. "There comes a time in all kids' lives when they need to create their own country." So begins this clever mock how-to, in which an independence-seeking girl suffers "invasions" (little brother), deals with "foreign leaders" (Mom), and finally achieves peace (she makes her brother a "citizen"). Details in Hargis's droll art do the explaining of the girl's creative leadership qualities.
