The Most Beautiful Kid in the World — Jennifer A. Ericsson

Grandma is coming for dinner, and Annie wants to be the most beautiful kid in the world. But she doesn't feel beautiful in the scratchy dress and droopy tights Mama's picked out for her, so she makes a few minor adjustments. "Ericsson has a canny appreciation of the girl's wish to look genuinely stunning. The witty Meddaugh is an ideal collaborator, her cartoons capturing the haphazard get-up and the gleam in Annie's eyes."--Publisher's Weekly.
