The Bean family take to writing poetry on the roof. Anna is confident that hers will be selected for a book by her school. When it is not she is heart-broken, but Papa restores happiness by telling them how proud he is of his extraordinary family. The author has written over 16 novels for children including "The Night Swimmers" (winner of the 1981 US National Book Award), "The Eighteenth Emergency", "The Burning Questions of Bingo Brown" and the popular series about the Blossom family.
