My Kid Review
Charlotte & Penelope and the Neighborhood Stage is a delightful story about a group of friends who band together to encourage two sisters who are feeling sick. Their friends plan a talent show and are surprised when some “famous stars” join the program. Argenbright uses rhyming text which is a favorite with the target audience and will help with language development..
Other than the sisters, all characters are depicted by animals. Dan McGeehan illustrations are brightly colored and will appeal to children.
Charlotte & Penelope and the Neighborhood Stage would be a good addition to the picture book section of a K-12 Christian school library.
I received a complimentary copy of Charlotte & Penelope and the Neighborhood Stage. This is my honest review.
About the Author – Teresa Argenbright
Argenbright was lucky to have been raised by a mother who loved crossword puzzles and invented silly words to solve them. She developed her own love for language that grew through her experiences writing advertising campaigns, non-profit grant requests, and fun poems for friends and family. Teresa splits her time between Fort Worth, Texas, and the Colorado mountains. When she’s not creating stories, she can likely be found on the nearest dancefloor. Charlotte and Penelope and the Neighborhood Stage will entertain new and returning readers alike with its clever rhymes and lovable fanfare!
