Albertine's Got Talent!

32 pp. | Holt | September, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8050-8177-0 $16.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Madeline Valentine. Humorous text and subdued gouache illustrations follow a girl trying to discover her talent amidst a family of prize-winning gardeners, expert soccer players, and super crafters. Readers will find amusement in Albertine's awkward and ill-fated attempts at gymnastics, swimming, and woodworking. Ultimately it is her ability to laugh at herself that enables Albertine to figure out her true talent.
