Being Wendy by Fran Drescher - ESSENTIAL


Drescher, Fran. Being Wendy Grosset & Dunlap, 2011, $17.99. Content G- PICTURE BOOK.

Wendy has to choose a box to wear and is having a hard time deciding what she wants to be. Wendy feels like she should be able to do more than just one thing and shouldn’t limit herself.

With characters like Mrs. Reedenwright, the schoolteacher and a police officer named Miranda Wrights, parents and kids will love the message this book sends about not limiting yourself. The color scheme and artwork are very retro; it reminds me of an episode of I Dream of Jeannie.

ESSENTIAL - EL (K-3) MS, Shauna, reading teacher.
