The Bad Seed

40 pp. | HarperCollins/Harper | August, 2017 | Trade ISBN 978-0-06-246776-8 $17.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Pete Oswald. Exaggerated facial expressions (those evil eyebrows!) and clever page turns and perspectives reveal how a lone sunflower seed became a "baaaaaaaaaaad seed" with terrible manners. Detailed digital illustrations convey the other seeds' varied reactions to the baddie. Eventually he realizes he's "ready to be happy" again, and he begins to change his ways. Deadpan wit makes this a great read-aloud.
