Booklist - 08/08/2023 Cornbread and Poppy may be best friends, but they’re very different mice. When Cornbread invites Poppy to the Gala at Moonville’s museum, Poppy reluctantly agrees, but only after they make a deal: if Poppy doesn’t like the Gala, Cornbread (who’s afraid to spend a night in the woods) will go camping with her. As Cornbread shows Poppy around the museum, he’s disappointed that she’s not more excited about the “Toothbrushes through Time” exhibit, the Molds and Fungi gallery, or the priceless, porcelain Vase of Bagoo. Later, he’s so downcast that he inadvertently walks into the supposedly “irreplaceable” vase, smashing it to smithereens. Poppy gives him an identical vase from her attic and helps him lug it to the museum. While gently poking fun at high-society mice, Cordell tells a tale that’s true to both main characters’ personalities. Every scene comes to life in his expressive pen-and-ink drawings, warmed with soft watercolor washes. While it’s designed for beginning readers, the third book in the amusing Cornbread & Poppy series will please many younger children as well. - Copyright 2023 Booklist.
