Mrs.Pinkelmeyer And Moopus McGlinden Review


Meet the silliest, warmest know-it-all, Mrs. Pinkelmeyer from Poppingham, England and her furry brown dog, Moopus McGlinden, in their first adventure. This fresh, funny, and charmingly illustrated children story (www.mrspinkelmeyerbooks.com ) will make even the youngest children laugh and smile. When Mrs. Pinkelmeyer tries to put her rrrrump rrrroast in the oven, (rolling her "r"s like everyone else in her small town), she talks on the phone to a mysterious stranger in New York who is caring for her nephew while his parents are away. Any child who has felt the sadness of separation from a loved one
knows a good story can provide just the right comfort. Mrs. Pinkelmeyer distracts Henry who missed his parents so much that he was no longer singing or playing. As Mrs.Pinkelmeyer talks to little Henry on the phone from the other side of the Atlantic, he forgets his absent parents while concentrating on Mrs. Pinkelmeyer and Moopus.

Mrs. Pinkelmeyer goes on to tell Henry of Moopus's adventures at the butcher shop
where he skips and sings and takes a juicy steak bone home to hide away and eat in
private. After slobbering all over the bone, Moopus is in need of a bath. Mrs.
Pinkelmeyer scrubs her furry friend everywhere, even behind his ears. Hearing this sends Henry into giggles all over again (in addition to giving him a subtle message about cleanliness). Though in the end Mrs. Pinkelmeyer burns her rrrrump rrrroast (don't forget the rolling r's), she is unconcerned, because she is so happy to have helped Henry feel better. This book is the perfect gift for a child ( www.mrspinkelmeyerbooks.com ) whose parents are leaving on a trip or going to be absent for any reason. All children, however, will fall in love with the irrepressible joy embodied by Mrs. Pinkelmeyer and her dog Moopus. Burn the RRRRump RRRRoast is the first in a series of Pinkelmeyer stories. It won't be long before Mrs. P. and Moopus come skipping by again.


Mrs. Pinkelmeyer and Moopus McGlinden Burn the Rrrrump Rrrroast can help any
child whose parents are going away, whether on a short trip or just for a few hours.
Illustrations by Michael Swaim bring to life this kind-hearted English lady and her silly dog. Although Mrs. Pinkelmeyer's dinner gets burned to a crisp, she doesn't mind because she helped Henry feel better. Anyone who has felt sad about being separated from loved ones will smile when listening to this gentle and funny story. "When I created this story I was so happy knowing that it would make children smile if they were sad while missing their parents."
