Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 2-- Andy never has anything good for show and tell. The other kindergarteners laugh at his paper clip, shoelace, and bent fork. One day he finds a blue bottle that looks interesting. When he blows bubbles from it as a part of his presentation, they envelop his teacher and classmates and turn them into floating bubbles. The class flies around on this "Fine day for a field trip" before nearly colliding with a jet. A sudden rain storm bursts the bubbles and causes them to land. Walking back to school, Andy's teacher tells him that she'd prefer to see his bent fork again the next time. This enjoyable fantasy features large, colorful, cartoon illustrations that perfectly suit the text. Andy is a rumpled wimp with glasses and unkempt red hair. Mrs. Applelarney is a plump woman--before she gets inflated--who sports a red sailor top, bright red lipstick, dated glasses, and a positive attitude toward her students. This combination of personalities, pictures, and prose makes this a good read-aloud for story programs. --Nancy A. Gifford, Schenectady County Public Library, NY
