Don't Call me Pruneface! by Janet Reed Ahearn


Ahearn, Reed Janet Don't Call Me Pruneface! Illustrated by Drazen Jozjan 32 pgs. Hyperion Books, 2010. $16.99. PICTURE BOOK. Paul is a good kid, at least he thought so until his new neighbor moved in next door. She walked her cat on a leash, and Paul thought she was crazy. He tried to be nice to her, but in return she began to call him Pill, and addressed his dog as Oops instead of Bobo. Paul tries to be patient, but she is so mean to him he eventually coins the nickname, "Pruneface" for her. He decides that he needs to confront her, and when he finally does, he realizes that they are not so different at all. EL- OPTIONAL. Anna M - teacher.
