Mrs. Biddlebox by Linda Smith
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The idea for this story was tired, and the cute name for the main character either too kitschy or too schmaltzy. But man, did Frazee bring energy to this project! I think the page where Mrs. B hooks a ray of sun and yanks on it with a broomstick is among my favorite picturebook pages ever, and the next one where she rolls up the sky is right behind it. I could look at this book over and over again. The words, not so much. I can still give it a four, because I'd definitely re-read it and would certainly consider it as a read-aloud.
