(4) K-3 Illustrated by Adam Gustavson. Third-grader Sean is afraid he won't be able to learn cursive writing. But his teacher's patience and her promise of induction into a special club lead to success. There's not much dramatic tension in this gentle, reassuring story; Sean does fine, and everyone in the class gets to join the club. Watercolors depict a busy classroom and the kids' evolving penmanship.
