Won-Ton: A Cat Tale Told in Haiku
AuthorLee Wardlaw
ISBN0805089950
Full disclosure here, the author of this book sent me a copy as a gift. This isn't an uncommon occurrence, but I feel obliged to mention that.

I'll be honest, the fact that the story was told entirely in Haiku was *not* a selling point for me when I picked it up. In fact, I was more than slightly skeptical...
A Pet for Petunia
AuthorPaul Schmid
ISBN0061963313
Charming! This is a really fun book to read aloud. It’s also amusing, hilarious in spots.

The purple and black and white illustrations are very appealing, and I love how stripes make many appearances.

Petunia sure is persistent. Some will think she’s annoying but for the most...

Listen up you hallowed members of the Caldecott Committee. Lois Ehlert deserves your medal. She has deserved your medal for years, while you have repeatedly passed her by for everything from a biography illustrated with woodcut prints to a frickin' pseudo graphic novel.
Take a look at this one....

Ivan the Terrier
AuthorPeter Catalanotto
ISBN1416912479
The cover is great, and the title, 'Ivan the Terrier' makes the deep down pun-loving part of myself giggle. (I think his name is up there with my favorite literary dog name - Nate the Great's pancake guzzling counterpart - 'Sludge'.) I think the art in 'Ivan' is a little wavery - some pages are better than...

Dogs
AuthorEmily Gravett
ISBN0230704220
The art was cute in this book but there wasn't much to it. It was definitely for very young readers which is fine. The gist of it was I like big dogs and small dogs, slow dogs and fast dogs, this and that etc. It wasn't very exciting. What I did like and think was great was the last page with the unexpected twist...
