(3) K-3 Illustrated by Rosalinde Bonnet. Rabbit Poppy (Poppy's Best Paper) is delighted when her motorcycle-riding grandmother comes to help with the family's new babies--until she realizes they leave GeeGee little time to play. Poppy's frustration erupts in spectacular bad behavior, but she finds a creative way to make amends. Fellow big siblings should empathize with Poppy's struggle. Pattern-rich mixed-media illustrations invite readers to pore over the details of Poppy's home and classroom.

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Rosalinde Bonnet. Poppy wants to be a writer, but she just can't settle down to write school essays, even though she has a good imagination and more than enough confidence. When the teacher praises another student's writing, Poppy misbehaves and gets in trouble with everyone. However, she finally writes her "best paper," cleverly showing what she has learned. Lively, humorous illustrations reveal what's happening in Poppy's imagination.
