BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K, EL (K-3) - OPTIONAL

AUDIENCE APPEAL: LOW

Based on the poem Pippa’s Song by Robert Browning. 

Adams and Neal have taken Browning’s poem and tried to update it for a modern child. More a book that a parent might buy to read as a bedtime story.  Browning’s sleepy, idyllic look at the world doesn’t translate well to a book that a child might choose to read and re-read on their own.
