The Most Beautiful Kid in the World

by Jennifer A. Ericsson

Book Overview

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.

Customer Reviews

Annie dresses in her own UNIQUE style to please her grandma.

This book was tons of fun. Annie manages to stay out of her mother's view while she creates her own unique ensemble. While mom has visions of a sweet, demure girl in ribbons and a pinafore, Annie is transforming herself into a wild mix of long underwear, ballet tutu and ponytails all over her head! A smear of peanutbutter on the lips is the final touch before she shocks her mother and runs to the door to throw herself into the arms of her grandma -- a grandma who is sporting a cowboy shirt, purple pants and big bobbly earrings! Looks like Annie's taste in clothes skipped a generation. What fun
