Stella and Roger Can't Wait to Grow Up - Clothilde Ewing (4+)

Stella can’t wait to turn seven! She and her best friend, Roger, agree seven-year-olds get to have much more fun. But the more grown-up you are, the more you can do, so maybe Stella will skip seven altogether and go straight to eight years old! Anything’s better than being six. Being seven or eight is being practically a grown-up, like Stella’s neighbor Eva.

Eva does all kinds of thing Stella can’t yet—real grown-up things like eating vegetables…getting a job… Maybe Stella didn’t think this all the way through.
