★★★Annie and Snowball and the Pink Surprise by Cynthia RylantThis one is about a girl and her bunny, Snowball. She loves her flowers and finds a hummingbird in her garden. Now she wants more hummingbirds, in her garden. How can she draw them in.
Henry is a boyish boy, Annie is his hyper-feminine cousin. Seriously, if Annie weren't being raised by her father all on his own, I'd be puking Barbie pink.
The PandaBat enjoys reading about hyper feminine girls, even if she doesn't tend that way herself.
Some people really love Henry and Mudge. They tend to be much younger than me.
Annie is such a stereotype of childish femininity that she kind of makes me cringe. I prefer Mudge.
Annie is the girl Disney ate: she is frilly and likes to have afternoon tea. But she also likes to play with Henry and Mudge.
