Turtleback

When Vera gets the chicken pox, her mom puts her in the spare bedroom and brings in the Kitty--the big, soft pillow with arms. It's lonely and dark in the spare room, and the wallpaper looks like it's making scary faces at Vera. Try as she might, Vera can't sleep. All she can do is scratch her spots. But being sick has its rewards. Her mother reads her picture books, her father sings her lullabies, and her sister treats her to checker games. It's not long before Vera feels like her old self again. Any child who has experienced the woes of being sick will find sweetness and humor in this charming story about one brave little girl.

Before she knows it, the bell has rung and the giant green doors of the school have closed. Now Vera is late. What will she do? The first day of school can be both thrilling and scary. With charm and gentle humor, Vera Rosenberry explores all the different feelings associated with this important milestone.

Vera's First Day of School

"After a little while, Vera began to feel hungry. She could tell it was dinner time by the way the sun looked in the sky. She wondered if her family was missing her now. 
After making straight As on her first report card, proud little Vera hurries all the way home from school to show her family. But when she gets there, everyone seems too busy to notice her good grades. Feeling sad and a bit angry, Vera packs some socks and underpants in a big red handkerchief and runs away. But later, when she returns home, Vera discovers how much everyone had worried about her." 
In this reassuring story, Vera realizes just how special she is and, most importantly, that "when you do well, you are doing well for yourself.

Vera Runs Away

Vera's back and on the run again-this time from the dentist!-in this playful addition to an ever-charming series.
"Open, please," said Dr. Knoll.
Vera opened her mouth again. Suddenly she saw a whirring machine on a long handle coming closer and closer. It sputtered pink flecks.
Vera shut her mouth tightly.
When Vera goes to the dentist for a checkup, she wears her favorite cowgirl skirt since it always makes her feel brave. But not even her special skirt prepares her for the whir of the tooth-cleaning machine, and Vera's off and running before Dr. Knoll knows what's happened!
A trip to the dentist can often be scary for young children. With charm and subtlety, Vera Rosenberry takes the fear out of this new experience and proves that a little reassurance goes a long way.
