While some of Posey's classmates will be going away for spring break, her mother decides that they will take a vacation from rushing around instead. Initially, that sounds dull to Posey, but she changes her mind as the week goes on. With a funny zombie imitation on day one, a loose tooth on day two, and a new bike on day three, their staycation gets off to an outstanding start, while small-scale trials and triumphs come later. Featuring large print, many illustrations, and an appealing slice-of-first-grade-life story, the tenth book in the Princess Posey series remains just right for kids transitioning from beginning readers to early chapter books.

Gr 1-3 It's Spring Break, but Posey's family isn't taking a trip; how can she have an exhilarating vacation if they're just staying home? What her mom says will be a lazy vacation turns into a crazy one as Posey learns to ride a new bike without training wheels, loses a tooth, attends a sleepover, and eats pancakes for dinner. Sweet black-and-white illustrations deepen the emotions felt by the characters and break up the text. These small adventures will be familiar situations to young readers, making this a great choice for children just starting to read chapter books.
