Summary from Random House Children's Publishers
Poppy and her friends dress up as their favourite fictional characters
to celebrate reading week. Poppy becomes Alice in Wonderland, Honey is
Little Red Riding Hood, Sweetpea is Cinderella and Mimosa is the Little
Mermaid.
But Poppy is so distracted by thoughts of fairytales and fantasy that she forgets all about her special book presentation -- what will Miss Mallow say?

Nayu's thoughts
I can relate all too easily to Poppy getting
carried away with one aspect of reading week and not getting stuck
into reading her allocated book (although to be fair this would be
for a different activity as I love reading). I enjoyed seeing which
characters Poppy's friends pretended to be – as ever Janey's sweet
detailed illustrations made me smile and spend time looking at them.
It's all too easy to procrastinate from tasks which we know we have
to and should be doing, when we can focus on other tasks which appear
more enjoyable (until the task at hand gets tackled). I liked the way
that the teacher helped Poppy. Poppy felt the guilt of not doing what
she should have done, yet with a bit of helped realised why the book
was recommended to her, and grew as a person from the experience of
not doing her homework.
