Brownie and Pearl are in trouble! They were having a great time racing around the house until—oops—they knocked the radio off the table. Someone is NOT happy about their little accident. Luckily these plucky pals have a clever and sweet Brownie-and-Pearl style solution to make good on their mishap.
With their simple stories, bold, graphic illustrations, and pitch-perfect moments of humor, the books in Cynthia Rylant’s acclaimed Brownie & Pearl series are a wonderful choice for babies, emerging readers, and everyone in between.

“In this charming life lesson, Brownie has traded her flip-flops for green tennis shoes. While running through the house, she and Pearl knock the radio off the table and it lies broken on the floor…. As in other books in the series, Biggs’s boldly colored digital cartoon illustrations dramatize the action described in Rylant’s simple text and give readers the opportunity to be a part of Brownie’s contemporary world. A satisfying story for pre- and emerging readers.”
