Pine & Boof: The Lucky Leaf

40 pp. | HarperCollins/Harper | September, 2017 | Trade ISBN 978-0-06-241850-0 $17.99
(4) K-3 Timid bear Boof loves his lucky red leaf; when the leaf blows away, the desperate Boof is aided in his search by Pine, an adventurous porcupine. The slight story is padded with an overlong text, underwear jokes, and trite cartoon humor (e.g., mistaking a snake for a vine), but there's energy in the flat pencil and acrylic illustrations and a happy if predictable ending.
Reviewer: Martha V. Parravano
