The New Friend (Pip and Posy) - OPTIONAL

Scheffler, Axel Pip and Posy: The New Friend.  PICTURE BOOK. Nosy Crow (Candlewick Press), 2017. $12.99. 

Pip and Posy embark on a day at the beach and make a new friend while they are there.  This book lacks a certain magic in the story, it explores nice themes of friendship, being left out, and generosity but felt very generic.  The illustrations of the beach and beach day activities were well done, but the story was too bland. 

PRE-K-OPTIONAL.  Reviewer: JQ
