(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Chris Raschka. Rosie, a prickly twelve-year-old, is self-absorbed and socially awkward. What she needs is a pinch of humility and a dash of consideration when interacting with others--qualities her granny Torrelli clearly believes will only develop when Rosie receives a heaping measure of love. Granny Torrelli gives Rosie that love, slyly delivered in the guise of making a meal. By the end, readers will proclaim: "Tutto va bene"--all is well.
