Brennan, Eileen

Dirtball Pete

(3) K-3 The mother of a dirt-festooned boy wants him clean and kempt for a school performance. She tidies him up--but will the look last until showtime? This story's mild suspense, gossipy omniscient narrator, and gentle reprimand to controlling parents offer something for everyone. Brennan's comic illustrations feature a dirty but lovable scamp.
