FROM THE PUBLISHER
It was spring break, Willimena's favorite time of the year. Besides that, Teddy, Willie's favorite cousin, was coming to visit for a week. They were going fishing, kite flying, and bird-watching with Willimena's dad. What could be more fun! But then it happened. Everything began to revolve around Teddy. It was "Teddy this . . ." and "Teddy that . . ." and "Teddy is so good at everything!" On the day of the family fishing trip, Willie was determined to capture the spotlight and catch more fish than anyone-especially Teddy. So, when Teddy caught the only fish of the day, Willimena put down her pole-and began fishing for trouble.And she didn't have to go far. Teddy was her bait.
FROM THE CRITICS
School Library Journal
Gr 2-4-When cousin Teddy visits, Willie is jealous of the attention he receives from friends and family, especially her dad. During a fishing trip, she concocts a hair-brained scheme to get noticed, resulting in unexpected consequences. The African-American characters are realistic and likable, and they experience circumstances and emotions common to most young readers. The childlike, first-person narrative will reel readers in and the quirky, cartoon illustrations will keep the pages turning. A winning addition for moving-up collections.-Ajoke' T. I.
