The Wonderful Fluffy Little Squishy by Claudia Zoe Bedrick, Beatrice Alemagna
4.0
This book is seriously adorable. The four-year-old test subject agreed, although I had to change the words a bit to make it easier for her to follow (I don't think she's very developed in her reading behaviors). The drawings remind me of a more refined Madeline style, with improved shading and coloring. The Fluffy Little Squishy is a bright spot of color on the pages.
There was one scary spot where the heroine goes into a butcher shop where the butcher is furiously wielding his knife in front of many customers. The four-year-old focused in on that immediately. Oddly, it's also the section that has a fold-out page, a detailed picture that should have been given to a different, less scary and more interesting scene. It was the only off note in a charming book.
For further details on plot, along with great pictures of the illustration style, I refer you to Carmen's excellent review.
