(2) 1-3 Illustrated by Valeria Docampo. Fourth-grader Penelope Crumb joins the growing party of precocious, idiosyncratic girls starring in early chapter books. Penelope wants to be an artist, believes aliens abducted her older brother, struggles to fit into the classroom environment, and has just embraced the reality of her very large nose. Occasional spot art offers visual perspective as first-person narrator Penelope seems prone to exaggeration.
