Review

Prunella Potts and her friend Guido eat peanut butter on everything.
When they decide to make their own peanut butter in the bathtub, they
sing the “Peanut Butter Waltz” and get the work done quickly.
Because the peanut butter has no additives and tastes so good, they sell
it to the neighbors and even write a peanut butter recipe book.

A Peanut Butter Waltz is a small book in the Annikins series: just
right for all lovers of peanut butter; just right to carry in a purse or
glove compartment when travelling with young children; a handy, instant
story while waiting for appointments or visiting friends with preschool
children. It would also be an excellent choice for a food unit in
primary grades with its happy, humorous illustrations and creative
family sharing story line.
