Hardy, Edward

Martha, No!

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Deborah Allwright. Sure, Martha may look cute and seem sweet, but her adventurous nature keeps driving away her nannies, including the new hire introduced here. Some adults may find the denouement judgmental--Martha is overjoyed by her mom's decision to take care of her herself--but no one can deny Hardy's flair for rhyme and Allwright's command of this giddy-making material.
