Review

One morning a little girl gets up and decides that for today her name will be Superlove and she will plan and perform a beautiful wedding for Pinky, her cat and her stuffed dog, Mr. Mittens. She will also be the flower girl, which is a most important part. She eats heart-shaped pancakes for breakfast, finds appropriate clothes for the occasion, decorates outdoors and even builds an arbor under which the bride and groom will stand. Pinky, however, has different ideas about this marriage business and climbs up a tree and remains there. All manner of temptations are employed to change Pinky's mind but to no avail. Will Mom come to the rescue when she finds that "Pinky is ruining everything?"

The illustrations complement the text and are colorful and expressive. The endpapers are a beautiful pink wallpaper-like pattern and the cover is extremely appealing with a pattern, once again, reminiscent of old-fashioned wallpaper in shades of blue. Additionally,there are just the right amount of pink sparkles. Little girls who enjoy Fancy Nancy and all things sparkly will be entranced by this selection.

Overall Book Score: very good
