Pinky And Rex And The Mean Old Witch
(Pinky & Rex) (Hardcover)

Kindergarten-Grade 3-- A remarkably sensitive boy, Pinky; his little sister, Amanda; and Rex, a forthright girl who collects dinosaurs, learn to cope with a nasty old woman. After a particularly unpleasant encounter with "the mean old witch," Pinky and Rex plan revenge. Pinky comes to realize, however, that the elderly woman may just be lonely, and he comes up with a better way to cope with her. This is not a fairy tale, so the woman does not turn into a good elf; however, the subtle transformation from cantankerous to just grumpy is very satisfying. Although Pinky and Rex spark faint memories of Dick and Jane, they are far more intriguing. This fourth book about the two friends stands alone, but confusion about who is Pinky and who is Rex can be avoided by reading the first book that explains Pinky's love for pink. Sweet's vibrant illustrations, crisp with color, show how effective a simple line can be within the simplicity of representative cartoon art--watch the eyebrows. All this and a cookie-baking father make a delightful read aloud or a satisfying book for all young readers who encounter people who may have "forgotten how . . . to love."
