APPEALS TO: SOME

Betty Blob has always been different. She likes rainbows instead of storms. She would rather dance amid dandelions than stomp on tulips. Betty tries to be a bad, like a good little monster but it just doesn't work out. Picture Day is coming. Will Betty be able to make a scary face and make her family proud?

I enjoyed the sweet message of this book. Being yourself is more important than pleasing others. The illustrations are mostly in black and white and have a cute Halloween vibe. The only color in the book is Betty which is a fun contrast. Would make a cute read aloud!
