Illustrated by
Chris Monroe.
A young girl describes all of the "totally uncool" aspects of Dad's new girlfriend--she plays the tuba, sings opera to her goldfish, wears sneakers with skirts, and more. Toward the end of this list, however, she admits that Dad's girlfriend is around to help her with tests, projects, and bad days. The illustrations extend the amusing text, capturing each character's quirks and the emotions of an evolving relationship.
