In the book "[[Little Miss Stoneybrook...and Dawn]]", Kristy helps Karen enter the Little Miss Stoneybrook pageant. The pageant is for girls ages 5 to 8. In the pageant Karen wears the dress that she wore in her father and stepmother's wedding. For her talent, she sings "The Wheels on the Bus", but she added so many extra, made up verses to the song that the judges felt she took too much time and they began looking at their watches to see how long she was taking. For the interview part, Karen was asked "If your house was on fire and you could only rescue three things, what would they be, and why?" Karen had practiced the questions with Kristy and knew what she was supposed to say (nice answers like saying she would rescue her family), but instead she said she would rescue her toys and her blanket. Karen did not win anything in the beauty pageant and she was sad and cried. The girl who got 3rd place was a ballerina named Lisa Sherman. The girl who got 2nd place was a tap dancer named Myriah Perkins and she is a girl that Kristy and her friends have babysat for, and Kristy's friend Mary Anne was helping her enter the pageant. The girl who got 1st place (winning the title of Little Miss Stoneybrook and a crown and a bunch of roses and a parade) was a girl named Sabrina Bouvier who had worn a long black dress and sang the song Moon River for her talent and said she wanted world peace for her interview question.
