(2) K-3 Illustrated by Molly Idle. Zombie-girl Zombelina is overjoyed to win the part of Clara in The Nutcracker, but she's sad for Lizzie, cast in a minor role. When Zombelina's ghostly grandpa causes mischief during opening night, however, Zombelina lends Lizzie her (detachable!) legs to take over the performance while Zombelina handles Grandpa. Colored-pencil illustrations capture the dancers' graceful movements and supplement the punny rhyming text with visual humor.
