"Besides the beguiling story, the affable illustrations of the smiling
Gloria, the accidental mayhem in the background, and the myriad safety
tips -- such as 'always pull the toothpick out of your sandwhich' and
'never lick a stop sign in the winter' -- add to the enjoyment. A
glorious picture book." -- The Horn Book"Rathmann is a quick rising
star in the world of chidren's books. In this book, she again shows her
