After finding author/illustrator Ivy L. Wallace's first story about this winged rabbit just charming, and then having some mixed reactions to her second (largely because of the themes), I was pleased to discover that I enjoyed Pookie Puts the World Right a great deal. The seasonal and naturalistic ideas explored here - the importance of all the seasons for the natural world, and not just the mild ones; the role of instinct in leading animals to prepare for winter - were interesting. Although I don't know that I would agree with the seeming implication that animals who are harmed by storms have themselves to blame - while it's true that the characters who are harmed here made poor choices, sometimes storms are wild enough to do damage, even to those animals (and people!) who have prepared as they should - I still thought the discussion of instinct, between Pookie and Winter, was fascinating. The artwork was, as expected, delightful, with Pookie himself as adorable as ever, and the woodland animals likewise. The personification of Winter, in one scene, with his gray, ethereal body, and long, icicle-like fingers and nose, provided an interestingly eerie counter-balance, visually speaking.
All in all, this was an appealing follow-up to the earlier books about Pookie and his adventures, one I would recommend to those readers who have enjoyed other stories about this character, as well as to those who appreciate vintage picture-books, or fairy-tales featuring animals and other fantastical little creatures.… (plus d'informations)
