Third in the “Uh-oh, Cleo” series!

“A natural choice for those readers bounding into the world of beginning chapter books.”

– School Library Journal

Description:

An icky uh-oh moment makes for an entertaining story.

Cleo has been bonked on the head by an avalanche of toys and had to wear underwear for a hat in a snowstorm, but nothing compares to the trauma of barfing on Mrs. Kenly’s fur coat. On the way to a birthday party, a combination of carsickness and too many pancakes turns Cleo green in the face, and before anything can be done, her friend?s mom?s fancy coat is a big, barfy mess. Cleo has never been so mortified, but kind grown-ups and good friends soon make her feel as if nothing even happened.

But moving happens, like it or not. And guess what? Things can work out better than you expected, just as they do in this gently humorous and reassuring story.
