review 1: It appears that Myrtle's hair bow prevents her from operating heavy machinery, holding a level, or really anything other than fetching orange juice and watching the men build her house. Did money even exchange hands here? And not to leave Stanley and Charlie off the hook, I mean, granted, they built a house in ONE DAY and STILL got to bed by 5 after 9, but their hiring practices seem kinda sexist. At least Myrtle is allowed to own land.
review 2: Great new series (I got unbound galleys from the publisher) of machine/color/cute animal books. Stanley's a multi-talented guinea pig with many rodent friends he's always helping out one way or another. Here he builds a house for his friend Myrtle from the ground up. He has a little help from his buddy Charlie the mous... moree and a number of earth moving machines.Two are out in June & two in August. Can't think of a picture book audience who won't approve on some level! less
