Horn Book Review

The first two titles in a series of early chapter books show the various aspects of the true friendship between Pinky, a boy named for his favorite color, and Rex, a girl whose name reflects her interest in dinosaurs. The whimsical and colorful illustrations reveal the gentle humor of the stories. Review 3/90. From HORN BOOK 1990, (c) Copyright 2010.
