Pip and Posy: The New Friend by Axel Scheffler
1.0
AS is such a talented illustrator, I love his pictures.
He should stay an illustrator.
The P&P stories are so over-simplified they creak and crack, but this one almost did me in. Okay, so P&P go to the beach (I never know which is which, again the proof that he is not a writer) and P falls asleep. While she sleeps, P meets an other friend and they play. Until this point, i say, well, simple but not offending.
But then.
But then, when the new dog friend loses his ice cream, P *BUYS HIM* an other one. What the daisy?!? Are we really teaching kids they should BUY FRIENDSHIP? They should pay for the sin of thinking ugly of a friend?
Also, while P&P lick one scoop, the new friend has 3.
This is just so unfair.
