Bill Peet is one of those authors who either delights, annoys, or infuriates me. Maybe a little like many famous comedians, he can be oh, so creatively hilarious, but he can also stray over into the inappropriate. I have heard it said that there are something like four versions of Robin Williams’s “Mrs. Doubtfire.” The PG version all of the way up to the X-rated version. Bill Peet is nothing like that extreme, but I do have a standing rule that I need to preview all of his books before we put them into the library. Peet’s humor and creativity shine in Jennifer and Josephine, a charming tale that strikes a lovely balance between whimsy and heartwarming adventure.
