PETRIFIED PRUNELLA by Sophie Jupillat Posey is a children’s story focusing the fears of a young girl named Prunella.

Prunella’s family moved from France to the USA, and Prunella was struggling . She was frightened, and to make matters worse, she was about to lose her first tooth. The French children are told stories about a small mouse that comes in the night, leaving a coin in place of the tooth. Fearing not only the pain of losing a tooth but the invasion of rodents in her room, Prunella is scared, believing all sorts of dark tales about vermin, pain and blood until the children at her new school tell her their stories of mythological creatures such as the tooth fairy and more.

Told using both French and English, PETRIFIED PRUNELLA is a quick read focusing on a young girl’s unwanted fears, and the mythological creatures and belief systems around the world. A cute story with vivid images but I wasn’t a fan of the cover image…the terrifying mouse with the rows of jagged teeth is enough to scare an adult…lol
