(3) K-3 Illustrated by Holly Hatam. Tinkerer Maxine learns persistence as she ensures that her beloved goldfish, Milton, can participate in the class pet parade. This well-defined challenge propels the plot. Digital-collage illustrations contain delightful details--including Maxine's clever inventions and an ever-present little brother--and although it's supposedly "hard to tell" how Milton is feeling, he clearly adores Maxine.
