Description

Say Cheese!

Karen has to get glasses—two pairs! One pair for reading and one for all the time. Karen does not want glasses. Her school pictures are going to be taken soon! But she has to... so she picks out some pretty pink and blue ones. Karen thinks she looks very grown-up.

Then Yicky Ricky at school calls her four-eyes. If Karen wears her glasses for the school picture, Ricky will make fun of her. But Karen is not a wimp! Glasses or no glasses—that Ricky is going to get it!

Karen's School Picture (Baby-Sitters Little Sister #5) by Ann Martin explores the challenges of growing up and dealing with teasing from classmates. Will Karen find the courage to wear her stylish new glasses and overcome Ricky's taunts?
