(3) K-3 Illustrated by Rosanne Litzinger. Antisocial Estie, overwhelmed by people, would rather imitate animals. As a result, everyone tells her to "be a mensch" ("that means be a person, Es"). During a trip to the zoo, Estie makes a friend by acting like a mensch (in this sense, a kind and selfless person). Colorful round-edged illustrations showing the feisty green-eyed redhead reflect Estie's personal growth.
