- W565755871 abstract "Reviewed by: Flo & Wendell by William Wegman Jeannette Hulick Wegman, William Flo & Wendell; written and illus. by William Wegman. Penguin, 2013 [32p] ISBN 978-0-8037-3928-4 $16.99 Reviewed from galleys Ad 4-6 yrs Big sister Flo can read, write, tie her shoes, and paint, and she also likes to dress up. Little brother Wendell likes to play dress-up, too—as long as Flo doesn’t make him wear the bunny costume—but prefers soccer, or hide-and-seek, even though Flo is not always the most motivated seeker. Their parents “wish they would find something to do together,” like a game of badminton or setting up a lemonade stand, but there is one thing they do enjoy together: “At the end of each day, Flo likes to read and Wendell likes to listen. Sometimes.” The storyline lacks originality, as Flo and Wendell, who appear with the photographic heads of Weimaraner [End Page 187] puppies and painted bodies, cover much of the same ground as other titles featuring siblings such as Ian Falconer’s Olivia series and Marie-Louise Gay’s Stella books. Fortunately, Wegman’s pithy narration and winning illustrations make this retread hard to resist. Using gouache on photographs, Wegman constructs an attractive, candy-colored world for the people-like puppies to inhabit, and scenes of Wendell chasing the soccer ball, ears flapping, or looking adoringly at Flo, or sleeping on a stack of books add variety. The poses are occasionally static, but most readers are going to be drawn to the clothes-wearing, serious-eyed pups no matter what, and viewers may also be intrigued enough by the construction of the illustrations to enjoy trying a similar technique on their own. Pair this with Falconer’s Olivia (BCCB 11/00) for a sibling storytime, or maximize the “aww”-factor by pairing it with another Wegman title.
