From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 3AIn this new entry in the series about best pals Pinky and Rex, their friendship is put to the greatest test ever. Pinky decides he wants to be an actor when he grows up and tries out for the lead in Davi, Boy of the Rain Forest. He convinces Rex to accompany him to the auditions for moral support. She isn't interested in acting at all. A big surprise awaits them when the cast list is posted. The play has been renamed Bahi, Girl of the Rain Forest, and Rex has the starring role. Pinky, who has been cast as a monkey, is angry with her. The two eventually realize that their friendship is much too valuable to lose, and Pinky tells Rex that she is good as Bahi. It is Pinky, however, who saves the performance from disaster. Howe fills the story with humorous scenes. Sweet's watercolors capture the action and complement the light mood. The ending, in which Pinky and Rex both order a hot fudge sundae with extra whipped cream "Because sometimes best friends just have to have the same thing," is totally satisfying.ASuzanne Hawley, Laurel Oak Elementary School, Naples, FL

From Booklist
Gr. 2^-3. In the latest lively chapter book about grade-schoolers Pinky and Rex, jealousy disrupts their friendship. Pinky is furious when his best friend gets the star part in the school play, especially because he desperately wants to be an actor and she only goes along to the tryouts to give him support. Of course, they make up, and in a satisfying surprise, the drama teacher recognizes Pinky's involvement and talent and invites him to be the assistant director for the next play. The book is part of the Ready-to-Read series, and the words and simple ink-and-watercolor pictures show the friendship drama as well as the thrill of putting on a show. A Junior Library Guild selection. Hazel Rochman
