Book Description
for Rachel Fister's Blister by Amy MacDonald and Marjorie Priceman
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
A parade of helpers is summoned to fix the blister on a child's left toe: "...Find her brothers and some others. / Send them off to bring some aid. / Go enlist her little sister. / Fetch the rabbi. Fetch the maid..." A reliable literary device and a fast pace are perfectly matched with the aristocratic chaos chronicled in watercolors and pen and ink. The jolly nonsense is certain to engage the active participation of those hearing and seeing it. (Ages 3-7)
