Abstract
Reviewed by: Prickly Jenny by Sibylle Delacroix Jeannette Hulick Delacroix, Sibylle Prickly Jenny; tr. from the French by Karen Li; written and illus. by Sibylle Delacroix. Owlkids, 2015 24p ISBN 978-1-77147-129-9 $16.95R 2-4 yrs Jenny is having a bad day from the get-go (“Jenny doesn’t say good morning because, really, what’s so good about it?”), and no amount of indulgence or attempts at fun (including a trip to the fair and ice cream for dinner) will cure her grumpiness. Parents will recognize the contrary developmental stage at the heart of this short and simple story, and Delacroix’s pithy acknowledgment of a common toddler/ preschooler problem (“Jenny doesn’t know what she wants today”) is spot-on. Particularly refreshing is Delacroix’s declaration that “Jenny is feeling out of sorts, but she doesn’t want to talk about it. She just wants to be loved.” Short lines of text in a blocky blue font are printed on a white background on the verso, while the recto features a full-page, fuzzy-edged illustration in calm tones against a neutral background. The clean layout of the book lets the minimal text and the depictions of Jenny (in various states of peevishness) take center stage. The gingery-pigtailed, round-headed Jenny is amusingly defiant as she does handstands instead of napping, and then touchingly sorrowful as she cries at the bedroom door (after telling Mommy “Leave me alone!”). The small trim size makes this import (French author, title first published in French in Canada) more effective as a one-on-one share than as a group readaloud, but it will find plenty of use as a lapsit story; in fact, parents who find it useful with their preschoolers may want to pull it out again to share with their future middle-schoolers, after a particularly difficult day.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
