What the No-Good Baby Is Good For

32 pp. | Putnam | May, 2005 | Trade ISBN 0-399-23877-8 $15.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Abby Carter. When John announces that his disruptive little sister has to go, their mother starts packing the baby's suitcase. To the reader's surprise, she does indeed give away the baby--to Grandma for the day. In a deft touch, Carter's comical watercolors don't feature the mother's face until the last spread: she has recognized John's unspoken need for some Mom time.
