Book details
Nugget and Darling
Description
Joosse uses dialogue to add spunk and freshness to a nicely textured narrative that sets up a familiar scenario: the loving relationship between a little girl, Nell, and her dog, Nugget, is tested when Nugget comes across a bedraggled kitten, Darling. Truesdell’s illustrations temper the sentimentality of the story with comic depictions of Nugget’s emotions as Nell integrates Darling into their lives, until the three finally become a happy trio.
