J.P. and the Stinky Monster

32 pp. | Whitman | September, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8075-3979-8 $16.99
(4) K-3 My Emotions and Me series. Illustrated by Erica Sirotich. Human child J.P. pretends to be a "loving dog" to overcome his feelings of jealousy toward the baby cousin who competes for his grandma's attention. Similarly to previous series entries, the bibliotherapy story is nothing new (nor is J.P.'s ongoing comparison of the baby to a "monster"), but cheery cartoon illustrations effectively unite and animate J.P.'s real and imagined worlds. Includes a note to adults.
