(4) K-3 Illustrated by Janet Pedersen. When Mildred's eccentric friend Ed embarrasses her by reciting his own poetry in public, she deserts him for the more conventional Pearl. But Pearl is so self-centered that Mildred soon returns to Ed with new appreciation. Although details in text and artwork lend some appeal to these spindly legged mice, the story is predictable.
