Jake's Best Thumb

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Claudio Muñoz. Thumb-sucker Jake is teased by his kindergarten classmate Cliff--until Jake learns that Cliff keeps a scrap of security blanket in his pocket. Though it's a too-familiar plot twist, Cooper distinguishes her story with lots of up-front characterization. Using soft colors and a few black lines, Muñoz subtly reveals personality traits.
