Illustrated by
Amy Wummer.
On Saturday, Annie pulls on her "adventure cape" and "sparkle tights" for mother-daughter playtime. But an urgent work call instead sends the pair to mom's office. There, Annie makes her own fun--and saves the day. Annie's voice doesn't always ring true, but readers with working moms may identify with the spunky girl, shown in energetic cartoon-style pencil and watercolor illustrations.
