Brownie & Pearl Take a Dip

March 1, 2011

PreS-K-It's a hot day, so Brownie and her cat, Pearl, decide to go for a dip in the little backyard pool. Wearing large sunglasses on their oversize heads, the two friends stick their toes in the water to cool off. The little girl giggles when Pearl falls in and gets drenched, but all is well as they lay on their towel to dry off. The bright, digitally rendered illustrations are cheerful, and the large, bold letters on white backgrounds suit the easy-reader text. However, this small slice-of-life is not much of a story.
