Penelope and the Humongous Burp
by Sheri Radford
illustrated by Christine Tripp
Lobster Press, 2004.
32 pages, ISBN 189422283-0

Quill & Quire Featured Review, April 2004

" ...Ottawa Illustrator Christine Tripp's candy-coloured palette is a good choice to document Penelope's exploits (remember they all begin with grape soda), and the bold outlines and exaggerated facial expressions will catch the eyes of young readers, especially the double paged spread of Penelope's final seismic belch. A good blend of visual drama and comic detail (Penelope's dog nearly steals the show), the book displays a racially diverse cast of characters coping with Penelope's gastric disasters. With its exuberant pictures, slightly naughty subject matter, silly words ("glurble glooble") and repetitive phrases, Penelope and the Humongous Burp could lead to some comical storytimes."

--Jessica Kelley, Youth Librarian, Fresno California
