Penny & Jelly: Slumber Under the Stars

32 pp. | Houghton | June, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-0-544-28005-2 $16.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Thyra Heder. Looking for ideas for the school talent show, Penny discovers her true talent involves her bestie/dog, Jelly (Show). Penny brainstorms ways to make it feel like Jelly is at the no-pets-allowed rec center sleepover; fellow pet owners will cheer at the resolution (Slumber). Childlike text and expressive watercolor and ink illustrations work together to show enterprising Penny's thought processes and deep love for her pup. Review covers these titles: Penny & Jelly: Slumber Under the Stars and Penny & Jelly: The School Show.
