* A School Library Journal Best Book of the Year
"Goodnight Gorilla"의 저자이자 "Officer Buckle and Gloria"로 Caldecott Medal을 수상한 Peggy Rathmann의 대표작중 하나입니다.
말괄량이 Bootsie가 집에 오는 날은 공포 그 자체입니다. 거칠고 무례하고 항상 공룡이 되어 물어 뜯으려고 하고... 꿈에서도 Bootsie가 멀리멀리 이사를 가거나 아주 지구를 떠나버리기를 바라지만... 엄마들끼리 친한 친구사이이다 보니 하루가 멀다하고 집으로 놀러오지요. 그런데 어느날 아침 엄마는 가슴이 덜컹하는 소식을 전해 주셨어요. Bootsie의 부모님이 시카고로 여행을 가기 때문에 그날 밤 Bootsie가 집에 와서 묵게 되었다는 것이죠. 아무리 엄마에게 Bootsie가 얼마나 못되게 구는지를 설명해도 엄마는 이런저런 사람을 고루고루 사귈 수 잇어야만 한다고 말씀하실 뿐이었죠. 그러다 좋은 꾀가 생각났어요. Bootsie를 꼼짝 못하게 할 기가 막힌 묘수를...
어린 아이들이 커가면서 겪을 수 있는 어려움중의 하나인 못된 친구와의 관계를 어떻게 해결하는지 보여주며, 유머러스하면서도 긴박감이 넘치는 글과 그림, 그리고 마지막의 반전이 책을 읽는 재미를 더해줍니다.

Book Description
Don't let that frilly pink dress fool you. Bootsie Barker is one tough cookie, and she makes life miserable for another little girl whose mother said she has to learn to get along with all kinds of people. Any child who has ever been tormented by someone bigger, older, or meaner will recognize the shadow of Bootsie-the-terror and thrill to the underdog's toothsome victory. Full-color illustrations.
Publisher's Weekly
"My mother and Bootsie Barker's mother are best friends," begins the diminutive narrator of this uproariously illustrated story. Bootsie stops short of actually biting, but she bares her teeth in a gleeful lethal grin as the daily mom-and-daughter visit begins. Wearing her broad-brimmed black hat and wickedly pointy hot-pink boots, Bootsie ignores all injunctions to ``play nicely, girls!'' She pretends to be a hungry dinosaur, tears up her timid host's book about turtles and knocks over an aquarium housing Charlene the salamander. Alas, the girls' parents are blind to Bootsie's malevolence and plan an overnight stay; the narrator, certain that she and Charlene will be ``rushed to the hospital with dinosaur bites,'' confides her fears to her mother, whose calm response plants the germ of an idea. The next day the beleaguered heroine thinks fast and gives Bootsie a witty comeuppance. Bottner ( Let Me Tell You Everything ) smoothly adopts the understandably anxious child's point of view, while Rathmann ( Ruby the Copycat ) contributes formidable, hyper-bright watercolors that echo the story's nightmarish but hilarious exaggeration.
School Library Journal
As in Bottner's Mean Maxine (Pantheon, 1980; o.p.) and Zoo Song (Scholastic, 1989), the theme of this book is about finding ways for very different people to resolve conflicts without bloodshed. A mismatched duo, Bootsie and the narrator are thrown together because of their mothers' friendship. Underneath Bootsie's bouncy blond hair, frilly dress, and ribboned straw hat lies the heart of a tyrant. The moment adults clear the room, the sweet smile turns into a sneer and the real child emerges. She becomes a vicious dinosaur intent on devouring her playmate. The narrator's mother gives neither comfort nor protection, so the little girl decides to beat the bully at her own game--with humorous, successful results. The story may be somewhat slight, but it will certainly be appreciated by all children forced to deal with Jekyll-and-Hyde playmates. The colorful cartoon and wash drawings, filled with amusing detail, perfectly express the terroristic tactics and the narrator's frustration. When Bootsie is on a rampage, even the stuffed animals cover their eyes. A book that treats a common and often troubling situation with an entertaining but effective touch.
