(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Sally Gardner. In her heavily illustrated journal, Polly writes about having to postpone her birthday celebration when she comes down with chicken pox. From start to finish, Polly's world is self-centered and melodramatic. By the end of the book, however, she is healthy, has two new pet kittens, and has a late birthday party. The book is slight but a quick read for those new to chapter books.
