No Room for Dessert

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Christine Davenier. In her third book, Dessert fears that her younger siblings, a.k.a. "the Beasties," are her parents' favorites. Determined to win back some attention, Dessert works hard to place first in the Thomas Edison contest at school. Davenier's playful pen and ink-wash illustrations sprinkled throughout the story help keep things light as the protagonist realizes how much her parents loved her all along.
