The Busy Life of Ernestine Buckmeister

32 pp. | Flashlight | October, 2011 | Trade ISBN 978-0-9799746-9-4 $16.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Suzanne Beaky. One day overscheduled Ernestine bails on her lessons to do something outrageous: play. The book has a capital M message but also lots of heart. Plus, there's amusement in Lodding's text (e.g., a yodeling teacher named "Little Old Lady Hoo") and in Beaky's acrylics (e.g., Ernestine's fully clothed mother holds up a sign underwater asking Ernestine's swimming instructor where her daughter is).
