First sentence: Brrr! It’s a cold winter day. Snow covers the ground in the garden. But the WllieWishers are not cold. They are nice and warm inside their playhouse!
Premise/plot: It is winter. The WellieWishers think it would be a great idea to build a snow fort. Especially Kendall. It was her idea after all. But there are a couple of problems. Kendall isn’t sure they have time to finish before the snow storm arrives. Kendall doesn’t trust her friends to help her and stay on task. Will her friends follow through on their commitment or will they get distracted? Will the gang finish before the storm arrives?
The WellieWishers series includes paperback picture books and paperback early readers. The picture books usually include stickers. The early readers usually include a paperdoll. By collecting them all, you’d have the whole WellieWisher’s gang in paper dolls.
My thoughts: I like the idea of collecting all the paper dolls. I do. As a kid I loved playing paper dolls. I like the story well enough. Again it may not be oh-so-amazing in terms of being literature. But why should a book for this age group or any age group have to be.
