Kindergarten-Grade 3--Pinky and Rex , neighbors and best friends, visit the museum with Pinky's father and his pesky sister, Amanda. From their across-the-street discussion of what to wear to their joint purchase of a pink dinosaur, the story is told in a readable and lively fashion with good dialogue. In Pinky and Rex Get Married, Rex returns from a wedding to find Pinky bored without her. She tells about catching the bouquet, and Pinky suggests they get married. With his stuffed animals and her stuffed dinosaurs in attendance, they play out the ceremony. The short stories are childlike, appealing, and believable. The realistic full-color illustrations convey the same warmth and mild amusement as the text. Two good additions to the often scanty sections of easy fiction for younger readers. --Jane Gardner Connor, formerly at South Carolina State Library, Columbia
