Soo's Boo-Boos

(4) PS Illustrated by Shelagh McNicholas. A girl enumerates her boo-boos, one through ten; when she's finished, her mom treats each one in reverse order. The rhymes are sharp ("My tongue is 7. It feels awful! / I burned it on a toaster waffle"), and the art, while unremarkable, relays the young character's believable versatility: she's frills and fairy wings up top, shorts and high-tops below.
