PS
In her board book debut, dino Penelope Rex Daddy Rex assists Penelope with the arduous process of putting on her winter gear to play in the snow with her saber-toothed cat, Mittens. Higgins keeps the focus on his expressive characters, including mischievous boot-stealing Mittens. Young listeners will relate to Penelope’s humorous predicament when she finally gets outside and realizes maybe she should have listened to now-exhausted Daddy Rex when he suggested using the bathroom.
