Pinky Dinky Doo: Back to School Is Cool (Step into Reading)
Kindergarten-Grade 3–Pinky's brother is worried about starting first grade so she uses her big imagination to think up a wacky story to help him feel better. In it, Pinky is nervous about picture day. She gets even more nervous when she wakes up with crazy hair. After battling unsuccessfully with it, she goes to school and finds that all the other kids are having a bad hair day, too. When the class finally decides to get over it, the result is the craziest school picture ever. This book is full of kid-pleasing fun. Readers are invited to choose the best response from silly multiple-choice questions. Side comments, including the definition and pronunciation of difficult words, appear in conversation bubbles. The cartoonlike, mixed-media illustrations are as fresh as the text. Kids will enjoy the broccoli- and star-shaped hairdos and the busy layout. This book is as cool as its name and will be a hit in any beginning-reader collection.–Donna Cardon, Provo City Library, UTCopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
