reviews

“Reminiscent of Arnold Lobel's “Frog and Toad" books (HarperCollins) but with an identity all its own, Pinwheel Days is an ode to the joys of friendship. A likable donkey and his animal friends laugh, play, share, say "thank you," and appreciate one another. The four easy-to-read chapters feature abundant dialogue and humorous plots. Complementing the text, the watercolor illustrations are characterized by round figures, warm earth tones, and decorative elements such as multiple patterns. This early chapter book has charm and broad child appeal.” SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL
