Nellie Belle

(4) PS Illustrated by Mike Austin. "Is it fun on the beach, Nellie Belle, Nellie Belle? / Is it fun on the beach, / Nellie Belle?" For this happy-go-lucky dog, the fun stops upon "seeing possums in the dark, / in the park in the park." It's a funny wrinkle in the merriment, enhanced by knockout cut-paper-like digital illustrations, but the book's repetition gets tedious, gets tedious.
