Hattie Helps Out

It's a busy day at Hattie's house. There's a lot to do before Dad's birthday party. Hattie is being very helpful, until it's time for her afternoon nap. Hattie's not even sleepy! But Mama looks tired. Very tired . . . A delightfully funny story about a little girl with big ideas, from a winning combination of creators.
