(4) K-3 Illustrated by Renné Benoit. After Lisabeth disses her dinner, Mom boasts that "When I was a little girl I ate everything I was given." Poof!: an apparition of young Mom shows up to model perfect behavior. In a twist, Grandma arrives and gives adult Mom a reality check. The grand premise would have been better served by fresher prose and a livelier palette.
