Queenie One of the Family

Caitlin and her parents rescue a hen from a lake, name her, and take her home with them, but even after they return her to the farm where she lives, her presence is still felt in Caitlin’s family.

Rating: ****

A month later my preschooler is still talking about Queenie. She definitely made an impact.

Bark, George

“Bark, George,” says George’s mother, and George goes: “Meow,” which definitely isn’t right, because George is a dog. And so is his mother, who repeats, “Bark, George.” And George goes, “Quack, quack.” What’s going on with George?

Rating: ****

A nice spin on the traditional “what does a dog say…” kind of books. Also has a great surprise ending.
