Review by Booklist Review
Reviewed with Jim Jinkins' Pinky Dinky Doo: Where Are My Shoes?0 Gr. 1-3. Pinky Dinky Doo makes up silly stories to entertain her little brother, Tyler, in these two titles in the Step into Reading series. In Polka Dot Pox,0 Pinky cheers up Tyler, who has a cold, by telling him a somewhat convoluted tale about the problem she had when it was her turn to do pet show-and-tell at school. In Where Are My Shoes? 0 Pinky wears the baloney from her sandwiches on her feet. After arriving at school she discovers everyone else has food shoes, too--from meat loaves to melons. The slapstick nonsense is extended in the art, which combines digital photos with bright, active cartoons. The story-within-a-story in Pox0 may be a bit confusing, but the scenarios in Shoes0 show new readers the fun of making up nonsense as well as reading it. --Hazel Rochman Copyright 2004 Booklist
