        Starred review from August 13, 2012
        Penny the mouse, who eagerly awaited the opportunity to sing for her busy family in Penny and Her Song, is delighted to receive a doll from her grandmother (���I love her already,��� Penny tells her mother and father separately). But Penny faces a quandary when it comes to naming her doll. As her mother and father attend to ���the babies,��� they offer suggestions, but nothing feels right until Penny stops thinking so hard and lets the name come to her. While the emotional stakes aren���t quite as high in this sequel, the dynamics between Penny and her parents are spot-on, both in Henkes���s pared-down prose and his delicate watercolor-and-ink scenes. Ages 4���8.

        Starred review from October 1, 2012

        PreS-Gr 1-The engaging mouse introduced in Penny and Her Song (HarperCollins, 2011) is back. This time she and her mother are working in the garden when the mailman arrives with a package. Penny's grandmother has sent her a doll. She loves it and shows it to her siblings and her father. However, she is stumped because she cannot think of a name for her. After Penny decides to show her doll all around her home, she is inspired to find a name for her in the garden, and she happily runs in and announces her choice to her family. The garden motif is carried throughout the book by the color scheme and the floral wallpaper in the home. Penny's voice is authentic, and her play and interaction with her doll will be recognizable to children. The sight words and repetition are perfect for emerging readers and will allow children to move from being read to toward reading on their own. As supremely satisfying as a Henkes picture book, this beginning reader belongs in collections everywhere.-Stacy Dillon, LREI, New York City

        Starred review from August 1, 2012
        Following Penny and Her Song (2012), Henkes delivers an even stronger slice of anthropomorphic mouse life for beginning readers. The story opens with Penny chatting amicably with her mother in the garden. Penny smells the roses while Mama weeds, and then the mailman delivers a package from Gram. Inside is a doll for Penny, with a note reading, "I saw this doll when I was shopping. I thought you would love her. I hope you will." And, she does. The fly in the ointment is Penny's struggle to name the doll. Her parents make suggestions, but none seem right, and they reassure her, "Try not to think too hard...Then maybe a name will come to you." Sure enough, after taking her doll on a tour of the house and then into the garden, the perfect name arises: "[T]his is Rose!" she announces. Henkes always excels at choosing just-right names for his characters (see Chester, Wilson, Lilly, Sheila Rae and, of course, Chrysanthemum and her "absolutely perfect" moniker), so this story seems particularly at home in his oeuvre. The familiarity of Henkes' mouse world, as well as expertly paced and controlled storytelling for new readers, mark this as a new classic, earning Penny a firm place alongside the not-so-creatively-named Frog, Toad, Little Bear and that celebrated Cat in the Hat. A doll of a beginning reader. (Early reader. 5-7)

        September 1, 2012
        Grades K-2 Mouse girl Penny and her mama are weeding the garden. Well, Mama is weeding; Penny is smelling the roses. When the mailman drops off a box from Gram excitement ensues, and there's no disappointment when the box is opened and an adorable doll with pink cheeks, a pink bow, and a pink dress is revealed. The rest of the story follows Penny as she tries to come up with a name for the new dolly. It's not the most exciting premise, and alert readers may come up with the name before Penny does. But as is so often the case in Henkes stories, what captures attention is the reality of children's emotions and the warmth that family interactions can engender. And of course, there's that sweet, satisfying artwork. Penny is not a feisty heroine like Lily; instead, as depicted in the full-page paintings and vignettes, she has a sweetness to her that will connect with many new readers. The simple story is just right for those starting out. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: Henkes' name sells books, and the Penny series of early readers opens a new market for him.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2012, American Library Association.)

        Starred review from September 1, 2012
        Naming things, whether children, pets, or toys, is serious business, and in this follow-up to Penny and Her Song (rev. 3/12) Henkes doesn't take that task lightly. Gram sends mouse Penny a doll: "The doll had pink cheeks. The doll had a pink bow. The doll had a pink dress with big buttons." But what to name her? As Penny spends three brief and accessible chapters wondering what to call this most lovely doll, Henkes gently guides readers through the process. It all works beautifully. The illustrations are varied, not only supporting the text but also adding some character development, such as when Penny systematically shows her new doll around the house. The language is natural ("Don't worry, ' she said. I will find a name for you'"), and there's a literary sophistication not often found in books for this age, with wordplay exchanged between Penny and her mother as they work in the garden and subtle clues that allow readers to make predictions about the doll's eventual moniker. In this second easy reader about Penny, Henkes continues to give children reasons to want to read, long after the satisfaction of learning how to has passed, by offering a fine story, memorable characters, and a chance to puzzle through a universal childhood experience right alongside a sympathetic protagonist. betty carter

        Gram sends mouse Penny (Penny and Her Song) a doll, and Penny spends three brief and accessible chapters on the serious business of naming her. The illustrations support the text and also add some character development. Henkes again offers a fine story, memorable characters, and a chance to puzzle through a universal childhood experience alongside a sympathetic protagonist.
