YOU CAN’T EAT YOUR CHICKEN<br />
POX, AMBER BROWN<br />
Illustrated by Tony Ross<br />

excited about her trip with her aunt to<br />
London and Paris, where she will see<br />
her father again, but her plans change<br />
when she comes down with chicken pox.<br />

likable, and the story is upbeat, authentic,<br />
and humorous. She is a convincing<br />

perceptions, and penchant for gross<br />
humor.” —School Library Journal<br />

DECESARE, ANGELO<br />
FLIP’S FANTASTIC JOURNAL<br />
“Flip, a dog, does not want to keep<br />
a journal. However, his teacher, Ms.<br />
Flea-collar, requires that he write something—real<br />
or imagined—every day...<br />
This book will be a great introduction<br />
to writing for children, especially those<br />
struggling with the journal format. And<br />
with its handmade look, it will appeal to<br />
budding artists as well.”<br />
