Stuart's Cape

Pennypacker, S. Stuart's Cape. Illus. Martin Matje. New York NY: Scholastic/Orchard Books, 2002.

I was not too thrilled with Stuart's Cape. After reading, and loving Clementine by the same author, Sara Pennypacker, I went into this book with high hopes. Clementine was great! i laughed out loud many times. This book did not have quite the wit and humor that Clementine did. I think it would be better to read this to a younger audience, maybe first or second graders, than to have forth or fifth graders read it. It seems that it would appeal to a younger audience with all the imagination and make-believe.
