Where is Rusty? by Sieb Posthuma- OPTIONAL

Posthuma, Sieb. Where is Rusty?, PICTURE BOOK. Gecko Press, 2014. $16.99. Content: G. When Rusty and his friends go shopping with his mom, she tells them to make sure that they stay all together so that no one gets lost. After arriving at the department store, Rusty gets distracted by something that smells yummy and ends up getting separated from the rest of the group. Eventually after Rusty does much running and the rest of the store does much looking, Rusty is finally found. The first few pages were so busy and packed with dog illustrations, it was really difficult to keep track of who the main characters were. I felt like it could be so much more clever, but it was pretty generic. There wasn’t anything that really stood out as special. EL (K-3)- OPTIONAL. Reviewed by Shay, School Librarian
