review 1: Posy Peyton may not want to move, but, Posy Peyton really doesn't have a choice in the matter. What she does have a choice in perhaps is how to handle it, how to cope with it. And one of the ways she does handle it is by baking in the kitchen with her friends. (The kitchen is the only room in the house that hasn't been boxed up...yet.) What she discovers is that GOOD PIE is better than saying good bye. And so inspiration comes, they throw a good-pie party and invite their friends and neighbors. Everyone is to bring a pie....I liked this one.
review 2: Clever connections and play on words which leads to a neighborhood gathering and lasting memories of friendship. I wonder if larger font would assist younger readers. When I first looked at the illustrations I wo... morendered if the three friends were adults or not. Their loose clothing, the scarf over the hair, and the proportion of the girls to the building indicate adults. When one reads 'clubhouse' it then becomes clear.Soft watercolors lean to the somber tone of saying good-bye even though the mood is upbeat. Lots of white background on most pages provide contrast.Perfect book for what to do when a best friend moves away. less
