Dippy’s Big Day Out by Jackie French and Bruce Whatley - NO

Dippy’s Big Day Out by Jackie French, illustrated by Bruce Whatley. PICTURE BOOK. HarperCollins, 2018. 9781460708514

BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K - NO

AUDIENCE APPEAL: LOW

Dippy is forced awake by the other animals and fumbles its way through the jungle searching for food and a new place to sleep undisturbed.

I usually like French’s books, but this one leaves me confused, rather than entertained. Dippy’s antics are not particularly funny or charming. It comes off as befuddled, instead.
