Review:

Miss Pinkeltink gets around her community quite well, although she has a big bag that she has difficulty dragging with her. When she came around, her big bag ruined flower beds, caused other things to topple over and even injured people and their pets. She explained that her big purse carried everything she owned. But as far as the community was concerned Miss Pinkeltink and her bag were a pest.

One day, people were in need and Miss Pinkeltink came to the rescue. She rummaged through her bag and handed out various items even if they weren’t an exact fit. This made everyone happy. One little girl saw Miss Pinkeltink sleeping in the cold rain under a tree and wanted to do something nice for Mis Pinkeltink. She gathered up the community in preparation for a big surprise. What do you think they did?

This delightful story of caring and helping those who are less fortunate will help young readers understand the importance of looking out for one another. Vividly colorful images are fun and readers can point out loads of recognizable objects. Parents, teachers and caregivers can use this as a tool to teach sharing and caring.
