What happens when someone sneezes so loud that it "rattles the ground and shakes through the trees?" They set off a series of funny accidents that leaves no one in the town of Snaky Creek untouched! "Mrs. Mullendeck's Big Sneeze" is a delightful rhyming book of cause and effect that the author Suzanne Hansford Evans created from her mother's childhood memories. David Hansford, an accomplished artist, has beautifully illustrated the book with paintings that not only tell the story as written, but also provide several "subplots" and opportunities to engage the imagination beyond the written words. The author has included notes at the end to assist parents in sparking a child's imagination with fun learning experiences. Why is the elephant wearing a tutu? That's a great question! Reading this picture book to your child will be an enjoyable and entertaining time to spend together. This book has a Lexile(R) Level of AD780L. "Mrs. Mullendeck's Big Sneeze" has won the gold medal for Best New Voice: Children's/Young Adult in the Independent Book Publishers Association's Benjamin Franklin Awards.
