THE PERPLEXING PINEAPPLE

Individually, Terry Denton and Ursula Dubosarsky are so beloved by children and adults that they’ll no doubt attract a fan base for this new series before it even hits the shelves ... This bite-sized book makes an excellent transitional book for readers starting to make their way into the unfamiliar and perhaps slightly daunting world of chapter books. Where many chapter books use illustrations simply as a way to break up the text or to aid the transition from picture books, many of the illustrations in this book are puzzles that will encourage readers to become involved in the story. Dubosarsky has a truly playful way with words, which is spot on for this age group (six- to eight-year-olds).
