Lyle and the Birthday Party: 04/12/20
Lyle and the Birthday Party by Bernard Waber is the third of the Lyle the Crocodile books which I'm re-reading for nostalgia. Joshua has a birthday party and Lyle isn't his usual charming self. He's sullen and grumpy. It takes a while but Mrs. Primm figures out that he's envious of all the attention. Of the ones I've re-read it's my least favorite. There's a point in picture book series where beloved characters turn into mouthpieces for lessons in morality or social mores. That's what basically happened here. The fourth book is Lovable Lyle (1969) Three stars Comments (0) |
