Glitter Girl & the Crazy Cheese
by Frank Hollon, Mary Grace & Dusty Baker, illustrated by Elizabeth O. Dulemba
Ages 4-8 32 pages MacAdam/Cage March 2006 Hardcover    

A delightful tale of food coming to life, Glitter Girl and the Crazy Cheese is cute. Glitter Girl’s mother won’t let her go back out to play until she eats her cheese sandwich; she refuses.

After, the cheese stands up, runs off the table and out the cat door. This leads to a madcap adventure around the neighborhood. Glitter Girl learns to eat her food - while she still can.

This book has a clear lesson while still being entertaining. The only thing to get past is the odd rhythm in the rhymes for this story. It is harder to set a pace trying to read it, but it is fun and funny. My five-year-old couldn’t stop laughing, especially at the end.

This book receives a solid four stars for hilarious content and excellent illustrations.
