by Author/Illustrator Barbara Samuels The irrepressible Dolores appears again with her much-abused sidekick, Duncan the cat - this time Dolores can't resist getting into her sister Faye's stuff despite the big warning sign Faye posted on her door. When Dolores pokes through her sister's dresser, she finds a great singing froggie necklace. Naturally, she just has to wear it. That's when the big trouble starts and Dolores' efforts to cover up her crime just make bigger and bigger problems until Dolores is forced to concoct the biggest plot of all - a plot where poor Duncan plays a starring role. Dolores's efforts seem a bit more the comic fare for eight year olds than four - my six-year-old was terribly concerned about the poor put-upon cat - but the bright comic illustrations add humor that any child can appreciate. I can't say it was one of my favorite picture books, but for a Dolores lover, it's a nice new outing with a sweet happy ending. |
