Perfect Prudence

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Deborah Allwright. Young Prudence always does everything better than everyone else. In this tongue-in-cheek tale, she is assigned every responsibility in the school play, from starring to working the lights. All that annoying perfection backfires in a funny, unpredictable turn that ends the story a bit too abruptly. The unrefined cartoony illustrations are a good match for the book's exaggerated humor.
Reviewer: Susan Dove Lempke
