(4) K-3 Illustrated by Kevin O'Malley. As in Testing Miss Malarkey, Finchler addresses a timely topic in schools--this time, pushy parents at athletic events. Teacher (and now coach) Miss Malarkey is as likable as ever, reminding the children that "winning isn't everything," despite the less-than-admirable behavior of all other adults involved. The message feels a bit heavy-handed paired with such lighthearted illustrations.
