As always, Fox writes with a light touch, going straight to the heart of preschool concerns with affection and wit, while her impeccable timing and repetitive phrases ensure a prime read-aloud experience. Marla Frazee's delicate illustrations broaden the inherent humor in the tale as she depicts the impish Harriet's innocent misrule in a series of color-washed vignettes. Whether seated bottom-up at the breakfast table, feeding jam to her dog with a spoon or standing guilt-stricken amid a blizzard of pillow feathers, the Harriet she envisions is a thoroughly engaging character, one whose acquaintance readers will be delighted to make.
