(2) K-3 Illustrated by Marla Frazee. Mrs. Biddlebox starts her day "in a dreary little funk." So, the small, round, black-clad woman grabs her broom, sweeps up shadows and gloom, and makes a cake that turns out, despite its bleak ingredients, to be delicious. Smith's verse skips along with good-humored determination, and Frazee depicts the feisty lady's energetic transformation from grouch to jubilant cook with all the vigor it deserves.
