Notes from the New Bin

New to Perrot’s Picture Book Collection:


SOURPUSS and SWEETIE PIE
by Norton Juster
illustrated by Chris Raschka


Knock, knock~
Who’s there?
Nanna and Poppy never quite know who is going to show up to visit. Will it be Sourpuss or Sweetie Pie? Their granddaughter can be either. Most of the time she’s kind, polite, respectful and fun. But other times she is bossy, rude, oppositional and irrational. And she can go from Sweetie Pie to Sourpuss in the blink of an eye! Does any of this sound dizzyingly familiar? Juster is the author of the children’s classic The Phantom Tollbooth, and Raschka was awarded the 2006 Caldecott Medal for his previous work with Juster, The Hello, Goodbye Window.
