Illustrated by
Stephanie Roth Sisson.
With her beloved teacher's birthday approaching, Posey (Princess Posey and the First Grade Parade) decides to bring a special present. Unfortunately, someone else has the same gift idea--and gets to school first. Greene's brief chapters capture a first grader's enthusiasm, small but real heartache, and problem-solving gumption. Sisson's black-and-white illustrations get Posey's every facial expression right--happy, disappointed, angry, happy again.
