Violet Mackerel's Remarkable Recovery

(2) 1-3 Illustrated by Elanna Allen. Violet (Violet Mackerel's Brilliant Plot) is worried about getting her tonsils removed. When the doctor casually mentions the fact that some people's voices change after their tonsillectomies, Violet's fear turns to curiosity, and she convinces herself that she will now become an opera singer. Many new readers will identify with the warm story, enjoy the accessible vocabulary, and appreciate the expressive illustrations.
