McDuff Moves in by Rosemary Wells
4.0
I loved reading this book to my daughter when she was young, so I'm glad it has been reissued with a lovely new cover.
I love the illustrations, and the couple who adopt McDuff, but since my mother grew up in the Depression, I wonder about this well to do couple, with a nice car, and a nice house. What did they do for a living? Were they both working for the movie industry?
What seems odd that the two things that are included new, are a recipe for rice pudding, and the information on adoption. The odd thing, or perhaps the sad thing, is that it calls for vanilla beans, which are now very, very expensive, last time I looked. Several dollars a pod. I used to make vanilla ice cream, and stopped, when the price shot up.
Which is neither here nor there, as to whether you would enjoy this book.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.
