Illustrated by
Ann James.
Hannah's hands, Sadie and Ratz, often get her into trouble, such as when they jump onto the head of her little brother and try to rub his ears off. This sibling rivalry tale, told in the first person, is more psychologically sophisticated than usual for an early chapter book, but the sensitive drawings and clever book design add to the emotional clarity of Hannah's journey.
