Book Review: “Gwendolyn Grace”

Disclosure:  I received this book to review in exchange for sharing my honest opinion.

Gwendolyn Grace

Publisher: Greenwillow Books (April 21, 2015)

Format:  Hardcover

32 Pages

The picture book debut by Katherine Hannigan, the award-winning, bestselling author of Ida B, introduces the effervescent Gwendolyn Grace, an alligator with a new sibling and only one thing on her mind—having fun! Pitch-perfect and a great choice for fans of Pete the Cat and the Pigeon books by Mo Willems.

Gwendolyn Grace, a preschool alligator in a pink tutu, wants to play. But her mother insists that she pipe down, because the baby is trying to sleep. Gwendolyn Grace can’t quite believe it, and in this funny call-and-response, all dialogue and action picture book, she questions her mother relentlessly about what is allowed (not much) and not allowed (a lot). It all ends happily, though, when Mom, baby, and Gwendolyn Grace play a noisy game together. Lots of drama, lots of noise, and lots of funny moments make this picture book debut an ideal choice for story times and for families with new siblings.

This is an adorable hardcover picture book about a little girl who is also an alligator, who has to learn to be quiet while her baby sister is sleeping.  She is a typical active preschooler so of course its hard for her to be quiet and her mother keeps telling her to keep it down. The illustrations are colorful and my daughter loves the silliness of the book. It would be a great book for a child who is going to become a big brother or sister so they can see that even though things will change they can also be fun.

BUY IT:  Check out Gwendolyn Grace on Amazon for currently $12.60 or look for it for wherever books are sold.
