(3) K-3 Illustrated by Heather Maione. When four-year-old Russell decides that he wants to stay home from school like his baby sister, his mother treats him like a baby instead of a big boy, and soon he is clamoring to go to his classroom after all. The notion of acting like an infant again will amuse young listeners, and the drawings are executed with a light touch that suits the story, which was adapted from a chapter in Hurwitz's Rip-Roaring Russell.
Reviewer: Anne St. John
