title: The Nora Notebooks, Book 2: The Trouble with Babies
author: Claudia Mills
description: Gr 36Nora's family is about to welcome a new baby, and she's about to become an aunt. The scientific-minded 10-year-old makes her new niece the subject of her next notebook, jotting down as many baby facts as she can. This is quite a change for series fans, who may remember that ants were the stars of the first installment. What begins as a curiosity about the new baby soon turns into a possible idea for a science project. Unfortunately, her teacher pairs her with Emma. Unlike Nora, Emma loves babies, the color pink, and cats. Further adding to Nora's stress is a social studies assignment that involves writing diary entries as Martha Talbot, a pioneer on the Oregon Trail. Fourth grade seems to be getting very complicated. VERDICT Fans of Mills's first Nora book will not be disappointed as she delivers another satisfying read.Martha Rico, El Paso ISD, TX
