Brownie & Pearl Grab a Bite by Cynthia Rylant- ADVISABLE

Rylant, Cynthia.  Biggs, Brian.  Brownie & Pearl Grab a Bite, 24 pgs.  Beach Lane Books, 2011.  $13.99.  Back cover:  “It’s lunchtime, and Brownie and Pearl are ready to grab a bite.  So pull up a chair and join these hungry pals for a happy, healthy noontime feast!”  This is a cute, simple book about nutrition. Brownie helps her cat, Pearl, make wise, fun choices for lunch. There is also an underlying message about proper manners.  It could definitely be used in a unit. The pictures are bright and inviting.  The text is short and simple.   My kids thought the illustrations were fun.  Pre-K.  EL (K-3).  ADVIDABLE.  Reviewer: SL.
