(2) K-3 Illustrated by Michael Emberley. Six-year-old Priscilla becomes obsessed with gorillas because "they always get their way," unlike Priscilla, who has to concede to her teacher. Alternating between school and home, the story provides an engaging look at the dynamics Priscilla negotiates as she struggles with both independence and cooperation. The story's unassuming narration highlights the characters' funny quips, while the pencil and watercolor illustrations make their emotions clear.
