Dirtball Pete by Eileen Brennan


Do you have or were you once a dirty little kid? You'll love Dirtball Pete!

Random House Books for Young Readers sent me a copy of this book for review (thank you), and I love it.

Pete is a boisterous little boy who loves life and is afraid of no dirt and no smell. And his sister really doesn't appreciate it.

Then comes the big day when he has to give a speech as part of a class project. Will he be able to stay clean until after the performance?

Ms. Brennan's character is delightful and her illustrations are great. I know there will be more in this series because he offers so many possibilities for an author. And I'll be watching for them.

Children's picture books are great fun to read, and this one will be a book every child should be able to relate to. It is written for children ages 4-7 and is currently available in your local bookstore. Check it out!
