Even before breakfast, Louise knows that it isn’t going to be an easy day. Her itchy eyes, wheezy throat, and very, very sneezy nose lead to trouble at school, during ballet class, and even while reading a bedtime story. Irene Breznak’s rhythmic refrain is “catching” as characters implore Louise to “cover your mouth, PLEASE!”—a message that parents will appreciate! Janet Pederson’s charming watercolors bring Louise to life as well as that tickly, sneezy feeling familiar to everyone!
