Princess Posey and the First Grade Play




Everyone's favorite first grader, Princess Posey, has to fess up to her biggest mistake yet in this eleventh book in the series!

Posey's class has been learning all about bees, and when they plan to put on a play to demonstrate everything they've learned, Posey is thrilled. Posey loves a stage, and she's already got her heart set on the perfect role: the Queen Bee. But when Caitlyn is picked for the Queen Bee, Posey is crushed. Taking matters into her own hands, Posey swipes Caitlyn's special bee eraser when nobody's looking. But after she takes it, she feels worse. Maybe stealing wasn't the right thing to do--but how can she ever make things right? It takes a talk with her mom and a whole lot of courage, but Posey makes an important discovery: owning up to your mistakes is always the right thing to do.

Praise for Princess Posey and the First Grade Play

PRAISE FOR POSEY:
"Greene proves herself yet again to be an adept chronicler of the ups and downs of the first year of school, and her simple, straightforward prose gives just the right amount of emotional heft to these mini-dramas, neither exaggerating nor reducing Posey's situation . . . Posey continues to be a winning protagonist, and her escapades are a series worth having on hand."--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

* "Posey is a delightfully imperfect little first-grader . . . Greene continues to develop winning characters in realistic situations. No wand needed--pure magic for emerging readers."--Kirkus Reviews, starred review

"A warm family story with a likeable, kindhearted protagonist."--The Horn Book

"Greene doesn't miss a step. Posey is the perfect fictional friend for any first-grade girl."--Kirkus Reviews

"Greene's simple writing style and straightforward plot is ideal for advanced first graders or beginning second-grade readers."--School Library Journal

"It is an impressive feat when just a few short sentences can relay the complicated relationship dynamics as perceived by a first-grader, but Greene does it again and again as she chronicles Posey's emotional endeavors with tenderness and compassion. Pitch-perfect in tone and and spot-on with age-appropriate issues."--The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
