Petit, the Monster

(3) K-3 Translated by Elisa Amado. Petit loves to play with his dog, but he also pulls girls' hair. He takes good care of his toys but is bad at sharing them. Petit's mother asks, "How can such a good boy sometimes do such bad things?" There is no tidy answer to Petit's puzzling problem, but readers will connect with the familiar dichotomy. Line drawings washed in terracotta tones add energy and humor.
Reviewer: Carrie Harasimowicz Sullivan
