Blue Ribbon Blues

A Tooter Tale




A hilarious and heartwarming Stepping Stone backlist gem from Newbery Award-winning author Jerry Spinelli. The sequel to Tooter Pepperday.

Ever since her family moved to Aunt Sally's farm, Tooter's known that farm life is definitely not for her. There's no pizzeria  for miles, her nearest neighbor is a dumb boy, and even her own pet chicken hates her! So Tooter decides to show everyone what she's made of by winning the blue ribbon at the County Fair's goat show. Now all she has to do is keep her little brother--and his paint brush--away from her prize goat!
