Maude: The Not-So-Noticeable Shrimpton

32 pp. | Candlewick | August, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-6515-9 $16.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Trisha Krauss. Milquetoast middle child Maude Shrimpton has an attention-seeking family: eccentric-hat-wearing mom, curlicue-mustached dad, etc. When her family gives her an attention-attracting tiger for her birthday, Maude uses her ability to (literally) disappear into the background to her advantage (tigers get hungry). This glib story is a showcase for Krauss's urbane, fashion-savvy illustrations, which seem better suited to an older readership.
