Beverly Billingsly Takes a Bow
by Alexander Stadler
Grades K-2 32 pages Voyager Books June 2007 Paperback    

Beverly is delighted to receive a trunk full of costumes for her birthday and immediately decides she wants to become an actress. Unfortunately, a bad case of nerves and a less than stellar audition for a school play earns her the parts of a shrub and a rock. Beverly decides to make the best of the situation and becomes committed to being the best shrub and the best rock she can be, ending up becoming a more integral part of the performance than she could have ever imagined.

Beverly Billingsly Takes a Bow is a delightfully written and illustrated story that will make both children and adults cheer for an encore presentation.
