Petie Pickette's quirky long-legged bullfrog who travels the countryside selling his wares, transports the reader back to simpler times. Her back woodsy humor punctuates each of Sidney's chapter adventures. She introduces today's children to the world of yesterday, while reminding readers who are still children at heart, of their own childhood. Sidney, the tinker, always noble of heart, manages to come out on top, no matter what situations befall him. The spice of Sidney's life can be discovered in each funny little verse song that the author generously sprinkles, letting the reader in on Sidney's secrets. This is a delightful story for children of all ages.
