Poppleton in Summer (Poppleton #6?) Cynthia Rylant. Illustrated by Mark Teague. 2023. [May] 64 pages. [Source: Library] [Early chapter book, Animal fantasy]
First sentence: It was summer. Poppleton loved lying on his roof in summer. It was his favorite way to relax.
Premise/plot: Do you know Poppleton? Poppleton is back in another early chapter book. These Poppleton stories are set in summer, of course. The three stories are "Pink," "The Jeep," and "The Rain." In Pink, Poppleton gets sunburned. But he doesn't let that stop him from living life and enjoying the company of friends. In "The Jeep," Poppleton (and friend) go to the country in a jeep. He gets a little carried away in this jeep! Good thing there are cows that don't mind helping out. In "The Rain," Poppleton enjoys the rain.
My thoughts: Is this my favorite Poppleton collection? Probably not. Do I still enjoy Poppleton as a character? Yes. Definitely. Poppleton and friends are just fun to spend time with. I enjoy Cynthia Rylant as a writer; she creates memorable characters and series.
