My daughter has all of the Brownie and Pearl books. Although she is almost 10 now and has graduated to reading long novels, she still loves the beautiful pictures and sweet stories of the Brownie and Pearl series. We had many a wonderful story time before bed reading them and they are a treasured collection.

Just found this series by Cynthia Rylant. Very colorful and fun. My 2 year old daughter loves them.

Brownie & Pearl think a dip in the pool would be nice on such a hot day. However, Pearl gets a little more than she bargained for with the water. The illustrations really bring the text to life. Love Brownie & Pearl in their sunglasses and sunning themselves on a beach blanket.

It’s a very hot day. After sitting in front of the fan with lemonade, Brownie and Pearl decide to head for the pool. Time for swimsuits, a beach ball and sunglasses. They head to their small pool that is just the right size for both of them. It feels so nice, but then Pearl leans in a little too close and gets a lot wetter than she wanted to. In the end, it still feels nice to have a dip, but also nice to spend time drying out in the sun.
Rylant has created a very cheery series for toddlers. Brownie and her pet cat Pearl have small adventures that very young children will relate to and understand. Rylant has an ear for simplicity in her writing, creating a book that is simple but tells a full story.
Biggs’ illustrations are equally warm and friendly. They are large, bright and warm. The colors are rich and vibrant, creating a book that would work well for a group of toddlers as well as one-on-one.
A great pick for a hot summer day, this book will be enjoyed by children ages 2-4.
