Art is significantly less disturbing than the first book.

I have long been a fan of Molly Lou Melon, who is plucky and interesting and all that one hopes a child can be. I also love me a picturebook that is pro-imagination, so I am totally delighted with this new Molly Lou Melon offering. The thing that delights me most of all is that it took me most of the book to realize that new neighbor Gertie is a disabled child -- because that never matters to Molly Lou Melon, any more than it should matter to us.

Mari - Really cute. Girl creating things with household items. Traditional imaginative play. Maybe a good book for a concrete/rigid thinker
