Illustrated by
Thomas F. Yezerski.
Cheerful Mrs. Muddle moves into Katie's neighborhood and introduces the children to numerous new holidays such as Earthworm Appreciation Day and First Robin Day. In return, Katie invents a holiday herself--Mrs. Muddle Day--and gets the whole neighborhood involved in preparing for it. Friendly, detailed illustrations add interest to this slightly sappy story about celebrating life and community.
