Louise the Big Cheese: Divine Diva (Paula Wiseman Books)

by ElisePrimavera (Author), Diane Goode (Illustrator)

Synopsis


Let's face it. Every girl has a little big cheese in her.

Louise Cheese is no different. Night and day, Louise dreams of the limelight, lots of fuss, the red carpet, and more than anything to be the one and only Big Cheese.

Finally, Louise gets her chance when her teacher, Mrs. Little, announces a casting call for the role of Cinderella in the school play. It's Louise's chance to be a star...or is it?

With humor and heart and just a little attitude, Elise Primavera and Diane Goode tell a story that will inspire the inner big cheese in all who read it.

Media Reviews
A perfect pairing to Kevin Henkes's Lilly's Big Day (2006), this book presents a protagonist with whom many a mini-diva will be able to identify from page one. Goode's liquid lines and sympathetic characters give the text the pop it deserves. Charming from endpapers to endpapers. -- Kirkus Reviews
Louise makes a splash as a girl who knows what she wants (stardom!) and sees the future

(Broadway!) but can also deal with reality . . . Cue applause. -- Booklist
