Poor Doreen: A Fishy Tale by Sally Lloyd-Jones ESSENTIAL

Lloyd-Jones, Sally Poor Doreen A Fishy Tale illustrated by Alexandra Boiger Schwartz & Wade Books, 2014. $17.99 PICTURE BOOK Content: G

Miss Doreen Randolph-Potts is on an outing to visit her second cousin twice removed and her 157 new babies. Poor Doreen needs to be careful! There is a fisherman and hungry heron just waiting to snatch her up. Watch out, Doreen!

This is a fun book that is highly enjoyable. The story is humorous and the antics of dim Doreen will bring giggles and cries of warning alike from young readers. The illustrations are a true compliment to the story, which is written with lovely prose colorful in both the literal and figurative sense.
