PreS-Gr 2—A little girl dubs herself "Superlove" (title done in sparkly pink lettering) as she prepares for a wedding. Mr. Mittens, her stuffed dog, and Pinky, the family cat, are to be married and Superlove is not only the wedding planner but also the ever-important flower girl. As preparations are made for the big event, Pinky is not an enthusiastic bride. She dislikes her gown, and she hides up a tree. Superlove does her best, but Pinky will not come down. Luckily her gracious parents help her, and Superlove gets to be a flower girl, despite the feline's unwillingness to marry Mr. Mittens. This whimsical and original story of playing pretend is perfectly complemented by illustrations done in springtime-hued colored pencils and pen cartoon drawings with a sprinkling of pink gingham and stripes. Superlove is sure to delight aspiring flower girls everywhere.—

Dubbing herself "Superlove," a young girl plans a fancy pretend
wedding between her cat and her stuffed dog, reserving the job of
flower girl for herself. When the stubborn cat refuses to
cooperate, Mommy cleverly saves the day: "Daddy and I can get
married again, and this time you can be there, too." Sprightly
illustrations enhance the story's buoyant humor.
