Pinky and Rex Get Married

From Publishers Weekly These first chapter books star inseparable, irrepressible friends--one named for his favorite color, the other for her fascination with dinosaurs--who visit the museum in the first title and hold a mock wedding in the second. Ages 5-8. Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. From School Library Journal Kindergarten-Grade 3--Pinky and Rex , neighbors and best friends, visit the museum with Pinky's father and his pesky sister, Amanda. From their across-the-street discussion of what to wear to their joint purchase of a pink dinosaur, the story is told in a readable and lively fashion with good dialogue. In Pinky and Rex Get Married, Rex returns from a wedding to find Pinky bored without her. She tells about catching the bouquet, and Pinky suggests they get married. With his stuffed animals and her stuffed dinosaurs in attendance, they play out the ceremony. The short stories are childlike, appealing, and believable. The realistic full-color illustrations convey the same warmth and mild amusement as the text. Two good additions to the often scanty sections of easy fiction for younger readers. --Jane Gardner Connor, formerly at South Carolina State Library, ColumbiaCopyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc.
