Illustrated by
Rosalinde Bonnet.
Poppy wants to be a writer, but she just can't settle down to write school essays, even though she has a good imagination and more than enough confidence. When the teacher praises another student's writing, Poppy misbehaves and gets in trouble with everyone. However, she finally writes her "best paper," cleverly showing what she has learned. Lively, humorous illustrations reveal what's happening in Poppy's imagination.
