Pip and Posy: The Super Scooter by Axel Scheffler - OPTIONAL

Scheffler, Axel (illustrator).  Pip and Posy: The Super Scooter Nosy Crow (Candlewick Press), 2011. $12.99.  PICTURE BOOK.  Pip loved his scooter, and one day he was riding it when Posy saw him.  She wanted the scooter for herself; so she took it and rode off.  Will Pip catch her?  Will he forgive her?  Who cares?  There is not much to this book.  It has words written by the publisher (no author is credited with writing it), and there is not much more than a forced lesson to be learned about apologizing and forgiving.  I can't imagine that I would want to spend the money on this book, but I am giving an "optional" because the pictures were pretty good and I figure there might be some kid out there who needs all the help he/she can get to learn to respect other people's property and to say sorry.  Pre-K - OPTIONAL.  Brent Smith, Reading Teacher
