Title: Bossy Flossy | Author: Paulette Bogan | Publication Date: July 19, 2016 | Publisher: Henry Holt and Co. | ISBN: 978-1627793582

Book Description: Flossy is the bossiest girl around. She’s bossy at home and she’s bossy in school. She’s bossy to her friends and she’s bossy to her cat. Sometimes she’s even bossy to her teacher! Flossy doesn’t understand why no one will listen to her. One day, Flossy meets Edward, a boy who may be just as bossy as she is. Has Flossy finally met her match?

My thoughts: Everyone has met Flossy. Or is Flossy! Come on, you know who you are. Flossy is definitely bossy. She even bosses around her toys. Though you may be charmed by her crazy, curly hair and that bright, I-know-what-I’m-doing look in her eye, eventually you will tire of doing everything Flossy’s way. But Flossy has never experienced this so-called bossy fatigue, not until another little boss, Edward, shows up. As Flossy and Edward become instant frenemies, they recognize the bossiness in each other. And in what I think is a clever, no-easy-solution ending, these two children don’t find a magic answer. They are who they are and they work it out between themselves. So refreshing! Shout out to the bold, colorful illustrations that work perfectly with the story by author-illustrator, Paulette Bogan.
