Publisher's Note Molly Lou Melon is short and clumsy, has buckteeth, and has a voice that sounds like a bullfrog being squeezed by a boa constrictor. She doesn't mind. Her grandma has always told her to walk proud, smile big, and sing loud, and she takes that to heart. But then Molly Lou has to start in a new school. Ronald Durkin calls her "SHRIMPO!" and "BUCKY-TOOTH BEAVER!" But Molly Lou has learned a lot from her grandma and knows just how to put him in his place--in a very satisfying way.
Industry Reviews "Even if Molly Lou Melon's tale is a little too good to be true, she leaves readers with the feeling that anything can be accomplished if you are the best person you can be and make the most of your gifts." Kirkus Reviews (06/15/2001)
"Prescriptive though this story may be, the text is fast and funny, and Molly Lou is a fetching little heroine." Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Janice M. Del Negro (10/01/2001)
