Sunny Side Up didn't take long, but I think a re-look at the pictures would be wise, too. There are some wonderful things tucked into the art.

No easy answers in real life. <br />My students will grab up any graphic novel, so I was happy to add Sunny Side Up to the collection. They are passing it around.
