Uh-oh, Cleo, Volume 1

Front Cover
Penguin, Apr 10, 2008 - Juvenile Fiction - 64 pages
Saturdays are usually nothing but fun in the Small household. Cleo and her twin brother, Jack, always play games, torture their older sister, and then bike to the best Candy store in town. But this Saturday is different. Jack decided to Spider-Man up the toy shelf and made the whole thing tip over. And one of the things that flew off hit Cleo in the head, making her bleed and everything. As her mom sings:

"Your story's kinda gory, but it has a moral, which is:
Beware a day that starts out normal. It might end in stitches!"

Cleo's unique voice and lively narration will pull chapter book readers into her amusing stories of life in a big family that has many uh-oh moments.
