Iris and Walter and Baby Rose

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Christine Davenier. When Iris gets a new sister, she's disappointed that all the baby does is cry. Iris's understanding friend Walter provides earmuffs, and her grandfather gives her "a day away." Iris and Walter's strong friendship is less important in their third book, but Guest continues to write convincingly about children's feelings. The sketchy pen-and-ink illustrations give the book a casual feel.
