K-3I Can Read Book series.
Illustrated by
Rick Whipple.
In Big Mess, toddler JoJo's dad tolerates her disarray until he walks in on a pillow-destroying pillow fight. In Magic Trick, JoJo is disappointed by her limitations at prestidigitation until she makes milk and a cookie "disappear." Fancy Nancy's little sister proves worthy of the spotlight in these sturdy early readers for which Whipple faithfully emulates Robin Preiss Glasser's featherlight visual style. Review covers these I Can Read titles: JoJo and the Big Mess and JoJo and the Magic Trick.
