librarybonanza 's review for:
Phoebe and Digger
by Tricia Springstubb
Age: Preschool-1st grade
Toys: Digger truck
Siblings: Older sister & new baby
I loved the story of this book. It begins by paralleling the arrival of a new baby with the arrival of a new toy, Digger, for Phoebe, the older sister. "Mama and the baby were always busy" seen watering plants. "So were Phoebe and Digger" seen eating said plants. With a look of exhaustion and a case of the cooped-ups, Mama decides to bring everyone to the park. While Phoebe is at the park, a bully arrives to crash her digging party.
The illustrations and facial expressions are spot-on aligned to the text and the narration is perfectly peppered with ironic contrasts between the words and pictures.
