Book Reviews of The New Friend (Toot & Puddle)
Book Review: a little harsh
Summary: 2 Stars
I am a huge fan of Toot and Puddle, so I didn't pre-read this book before purchasing. Unfortunately, I don't really want to read it to my son (who asks for Toot and Puddle every day) because the story ends up calling one of the characters a "prima donna" and then proceeds to explain what they mean by that (which isn't any better than the name-calling was by itself).
Maybe many parents wouldn't mind this book, but I am careful to try to avoid examples of name-calling.
Of course, the pictures are incredibly beautiful as usual, and there is a nice lesson in the story, as usual. I just wish authors as well as tv cartoon writers would be more aware of name-calling. I wouldn't want to hear my little guy or girl calling one of their friends a prima donna, no matter how well the shoe fits. I know they will learn name calling at some point in school or even the playground, but this story makes it look ok to label a friend like that.
Summary of The New Friend (Toot & Puddle)
On this visit to Woodcock Pocket, Opal has brought her new friend, Daphne. Daphne is glamorous and seems to be the best at everything, from jumping rope to standing on one leg the longest. As the visit unfolds, however, Daphne turns out to be less than perfect, after all--something of a prima donna, in fact. The dramatic conclusion makes it clear that Opal is every bit as special in her own way.Picture Books
