Read Me a Story, Stella

(4) K-3 As Stella, little brother Sam, and dog Fred go about their day--building a doghouse, picnicking, etc.--Stella continually has her nose in a book, which intrigues Sam. The message-y story lacks the forward momentum of some of the other Stella books, but Gay's art is characteristically strong, especially the heart-melting closing spread of Stella reading to Sam in bed.
