The Parents of Flannery McKracken

32 pp. | Accord | August, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7407-8429-3 $14.99
(4) K-3 "Flannery McKracken does not wake early (excluding weekends, holidays, vacation days, and other non-school days)." Therefore her parents have to come up with creative--and increasingly preposterous--ways to motivate her. These include a cannon, elephant-and-rhino team, and the "ChildVac Pro Grooming Model II." Tidy illustrations that look like crayon have more kid-appeal than does the story's parent-centered premise.
