Ill. by Makoto Koji. ABC Books, 2018. ISBN 9780733339073.
(Age: 5-7) Highly recommended. Themes: Music. Friendship. Lottie Perkins is an 'exceptional' child - self-proclaimed! She is quirky and feisty and manages to demonstrate her awesome singing talents in a local talent competition despite the challenge from the mean girl, Harper Dark, and the unfortunate 'goat incident'. With a cute quirkiness of expression and personality (a Nannestad trademark), this is a delightful easy read chapter book that will appeal to early independent readers (especially girls).
Illustrations are in a simple black and white sketch style and are charming and well-suited to the storyline. The book includes a sticker page, of limited usefulness, which will appeal to young readers.
Highly recommended for ages 5-7
