Wilson and Miss Lovely: A Back-to-School Mystery

Wilson, an ingenuous young rabbit, can hardly contain his enthusiasm for his new teacher, Miss Lovely. One rainy morning, as Wilson gets ready for school, a fold-out flap reveals a green foot with sharp claws (“Wilson, however, was not the only one up and about!”). As Wilson waits for the no-show school bus and later arrives at an ominously empty school, additional flaps ratchet up the suspense: “Yet, not so very far away, something else could be seen quite clearly. Closer, closer, and closer it came!” Not for those nervous about their first days of class, but the surprise conclusion delivers a big payoff. Ages 4–8. (June)
