Booming Bella

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Tatjana Mai-Wyss. Ever-excitable Bella is extra-vocal while on a class trip to a museum. A docent finally shames her into silence, but when Bella accidentally gets on the wrong school bus home, her big mouth averts disaster. The story holds interest, though Bella is kind of irritating. The watercolor, gouache, and collage illustrations are a little too subdued for all the hubbub.
