The Garden Monster

40 pp. | Scholastic/Orchard | April, 2014 | Trade ISBN 978-0-545-43379-2 $16.99
(3) K-3 Fiercely & Friends series. Illustrated by Diane Palmisciano. In four tightly connected episodic chapters, Jilli, Jim, and Jilli's dog Fiercely plant seeds for the upcoming Vegetable Parade and fend off a "garden monster" (read: Fiercely) until parade day. First-person narration and onomatopoeia add immediacy to prose carefully written for a new reader. Palmisciano playfully varies the perspective of her oil-pastel illustrations to add drama through visual hyperbole.
