(4) K-3 Illustrated by Laura Cornell. A girl describes a year's worth of firsts, both the good (first pony show, first successful rope-skipping) and the bad (first bee sting, first flu). Curtis's rhythm and diction can be faulty ("My sweet Auntie Cookie showed me choices to use"), but Cornell continues to do what she does best: put on paper the uncontainable jubilation of a proud child.
