Bibsy Cross and the Bad Apple

written by Liz Garton Scanlon and illustrated by Dung Ho. Meet Bibsy Cross, the precocious eight-year-old heroine of this charming chapter-book series, as she navigates a relationship with a teacher who thinks that Bibsy is just too much. This year, Bibsy has Mrs. Stumper as a teacher… and Mrs. Stumper doesn’t seem too keen on Bibsy. She thinks Bibsy talks too much--especially about her science fair project. But one day, when Bibsy talks a little too much and goes a stone too far, Mrs. Stumper punishes her by punching a hole in her paper apple that hangs in the classroom. And Bibsy is devastated. How can she make the best science fair project when she feels so rotten?
