Illustrated by
Kim LaFave.
Well before the spring concert in which Nellie will play a bumblebee, she insists on wearing the oversize bee-striped sweater knit by Grandma. It gets very dirty, and after so many washings it shrinks. Soft-hued illustrations with fine squiggly lines representing Nellie's wild hair capture the messy delights of an active child.
