PreS-K—Brownie and her cat are taking a spin in the girl's pink convertible. Pearl loves riding in the car and retrieving and delivering mail so much that she doesn't want to get out when they return home. Brownie finds a solution through a delicious "takeout" meal that they can enjoy together on the grass. With its simple story line, ample white space, and vivid digitally rendered illustrations, this is a welcome addition to a popular series. Beginning readers will enjoy practicing sight words while cruising around with these best friends.—Jasmine L. Precopio, Fox Chapel Area School District, Pittsburgh, PA
Brownie and pet cat Pearl go for a spin to the mailbox in a little pink convertible. But when they're done, it takes some coaxing to get Pearl out of the car; Brownie brings her a snack, which they share together on the lawn. The simplicity of the story, the page design, and Biggs's bright digital illustrations make this a preschool-perfect offering.
