Books with author Laura Numeroff

Which pony does the diamond horseshoe fit? In this clever retelling of Cinderella, Ponyella longs to show Princess Penelope her fabulous leaps and jumps at the Tippington 25th Annual Grand Royal Pony Championship. But Plumpkin and Bun Bun, the mean ponies she shares a farm with, say that Ponyella's farm chores make her too dirty to be a champion. With a little help from Ponyella's fairy godmare, her coat becomes marshmallow white once again, and her mane silky and beautiful. It's love at first sight for Princess Penelope and Ponyella — but what will happen when the magic runs out at noon? From the best-selling author-illustrator team of the What Mommies Do Best/What Daddies Do Best books comes a playful rendition of Cinderella with an original twist!

Being the tallest girl in class is not so bad as long as you don't outgrow the tallest boy in class--especially if he's your best friend. But an inch can make all the difference! Amy and Mark are best friends. But when Amy grows taller than Mark, then Mark doesn't reply to an invitation to her birthday party, Amy believes she has lost his friendship. Laura Numeroff sizes up the dilemma of being young, female and tall in her heartily funny first book. Short or tall, all youngsters who are beginning to read will enjoy Amy's bumpy romance and the key to its happy resolution--the fabulous Captain Crunchy Secret Decoder Ring (full code and how to use it within these pages).
