4-6Calvin Coconut series.
Illustrated by
Jacqueline Rogers.
Fans of Trouble Magnet will welcome this second book about fourth grader Calvin's amusing troubles. Tired of being teased by Stella, his fifteen-year-old babysitter, Calvin gets even but then feels awful about it. He decides to get her a nice birthday present, but with what money? Salisbury's Hawaiian setting adds interest to this generously illustrated book for younger intermediate-level readers.
