If You Ever Want to Bring a Piano to the Beach, Don't!

40 pp. | Little | May, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-0-316-37659-4 $16.99
(3) K-3 Magnolia warns readers about bringing a piano to the beach: it'll be ruined by seagulls and drift away when you try to clean it; and when you try to fish it out, you'll instead reel in...the best find ever. This silly, childlike If You Give a Mouse a Cookie–style story is bolstered by digital drawings that focus on Magnolia's priceless facial expressions.
