Illustrated by
Lauren Stringer.
Two sisters, one dressed as a princess, the other as a panther, prepare for a backyard campout. "The princess was brave, and the panther tried to be" in the face of nocturnal animal sounds: "Too-whit-too-whoo...screechy hoo-hoo." Deep-hued, textured acrylics ably reflect the imaginative story's drama and its nighttime setting.
