Walker Pretty Pru

Someone has taken Pru's handbag. The green handbag with red spots, with blusher and nail varnish inside. Where is it? And who took it? No one is prepared to own up - but it can't remain a secret for long when her friends are wearing the evidence! Editorial Reviews From School Library Journal PreSchool-Grade 1--With quiet flair, Tilly, a little girl, helps her animal pals when they get into mischief. Tumpty the elephant requests lipstick as he admires Pru primping. The petite hen rebuffs his request: "You'll waste it." When she notices that her purse with all her makeup is missing, Tilly helps search for it. They discover that Hector the pig's lashes are enhanced with mascara and Tiptoe the bunny's cheekbones glow with a lovely shade of blush. Doodle the alligator sports an impressive manicure with nail polish. Tumpty is found prancing with Pru's purse on his head and adorned with her necklace. All of Tilly's friends are sorry, especially Tumpty, for their behavior, and Tumpty and Pru move forward in an effort of generosity and sharing. This tender story is complemented with colorful and expressive mixed-media illustrations.--Anne Beier, Hendrick Hudson Free Library, Montrose, NY Copyright å¨ Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
