BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Maude and her mom have moved to a new town. There's lots of things to do there, but Maude doesn't have anyone to play with. So, because she likes to draw, Maude draws a dog, names him Scribbly, and imagines it does everything with her. So nice to have a friend, even if it's just in her imagination. But mom is worried that Maud isn't trying to meet new friends.
AJ really liked this story. She loved that the drawing of Scribbly looked like what she could draw. She liked that Maud was a good friend to her imaginary dog, and she especially loved the ending - which might involve a real dog! I thought the illustrations were perfect, part kid line drawings set in a but more advanced environment, so the people look like people. I read a digital download (thank you Harper Collins) and the medium looks like crayon. A fun read aloud.
