Abbie in Stitches

32 pp. | Farrar | September, 2006 | Trade ISBN 0-374-30004-6 $16.00
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Beth Peck. Abbie loves to read but she hates needlework, yet learning to stitch a sampler is an important part of a girl's education in the early 1800s. How Abbie solves her dilemma makes for a simple yet satisfying story based on the author's research. The warm paintings add texture to the story, although the muddy faces feature frequently distorted expressions.
