A charming, reflective picture book with a strong message\u2026<\/strong> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Ferrett makes her debut with this engrossing, lively picture book about a young pig\u2019s dilemma over the choice of her attire for a picnic day. Ferrett\u2019s beautiful Molly, a lovable pig, is going to the picnic with her family, and picking a proper attire that includes a helmet is proving difficult as Molly\u2019s beautiful, perky ears are best suitable for princess crowns and velvet bows only. Assurance from the cat does nothing until Elizabeth whispers a secret. A plan takes shape in Molly\u2019s mind, but will it work? In this lively, engrossing story, Ferrett successfully conveys how quickly a little girl\u2019s world can turn upside down, and at the same time she also shows how sensibility and being wise are sometimes more important than looking pretty. The story is timely and reflective without being cloying as Ferrett tackles the subject of Molly\u2019s need to look beautiful (synonymous with a little girl\u2019s eternal desire to look pretty all the time) skillfully and sympathetically with Molly emerging a wiser and sensible pig at the end. Molly as the protagonist shines, while the other characters are both warm and realistic. The book champions sensibility, and Ferrett\u2019s light, witty treatment of the eternal subject of \u201cbeauty\u201d makes this a thoughtful read for little girls. The striking, lively illustrations with their eye-popping colors and sweet goofiness will keep the young children busy while they read the story. This fun, gratifying tale should easily please young readers and make for a welcome addition to their bedside bookshelf.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
