Little Bo-Peep

Paul Galdone was on my entering Kindergartener's Summer Reading List and we certainly understand why. His illustrations are very distinctive and nearly always funny and interesting. That said, I figured, what could he do with Bo Peep. I mean is there a more well-known and worn-out story than Ms. Peep's? Still, when I saw this at the Library (I couldn't bring myself to buy it) we took it home. And you know what? It is charming. Bo's --and the sheep's-- big eyed stares really manage to communicate her/their feelings. You can really sense how happy the sheep are after they get their tales back--LOL. Four Stars. One of the best Bo Peep's out there, thought I would probably only buy this book for a baby. By preschool, most children have already seen a half dozen versions and are bored with the rhyme.
