librarybonanza 's review for:
Joseph Fipps
by Nadine Robert
Age: Kindergarten-2nd grade
This book was enjoyable, with a true 5-year-old's voice, up until the very end. Joseph Fipps is in the middle of an argument with his mother when, without thinking, he says he wants a new mother. His mother offers to send him to the north pole to find a walrus mother. As Joseph is sulking, he is transported (or imagines--he thinks it is real) to the north pole and spends the day with a walrus mama. When it gets too cold, Joseph realizes that he doesn't belong here but back home.
It ends with Joseph pulling mom outside to see the walrus family but, instead, brings her out to see the new birds. So...why did he tell her it was the walrus family?
