✰✰✰½ Bob Ross’s squirrel friend, Peapod,
needs a new home. He can’t stay in Bob’s hair, and it’s not easy to find a new
home. What is a squirrel to do? Bob has an idea. He sets out to paint the perfect new home for Peapod. After all, that's what friends do, help each other. Working through
all the colors on his palette, Bob paints happy little clouds and mountaintops.
Using a painting knife and brushes, Bob and Peapod paint their way through happy
accidents to a wonderful new forest home for Peapod.
The Bottom Line: This sweet tale
of friendship and creativity is reminiscent of Crockett Johnson's, Harold and
the Purple Crayon. It takes readers on a painting journey with a happy ending. Highly
recommended for kids ages 5 and up. Fans of Bob Ross will enjoy the adventure too.
