K-3Iris and Walter series.
Illustrated by
Christine Davenier.
In previous adventures, Iris and Walter faced problems that could be solved; this time the situation can only be endured: Iris is sick the day of the school play. The story's language respects both the concerns and skills of beginning readers. Expressive watercolors suggest the constant movement of young children and capture character traits only implied in the narrative.
