I didn't really like this book at first. But it fit well for our pirate book club parties. Then after I read it for the tenth (or so) time, I discovered that I really liked the tender story told in the pictures and not in the actual words. We read it twice and Coco's book club party. First, just reading it, and...

This is a bit of an oldie, although I never read it when it was first published (as I was already an adult and hadn't yet realized how much fun it can be to read children's picture books). The story, set in the 1930s, is about a little white dog who finds himself lost and alone after "escaping" from the dogcatcher....

I just adored this book. Perhaps it wasn’t “amazing” but I really, really liked it and I’m giving it the full 5 stars.
It works as an alphabet book because Mr. McTats’s first cat is named Abner, and as more cats adopt the household, she gives them names that start with B, C, D, and so on,...

Hairy Maclary's Rumpus at the Vet
So glad my own vet visits never turn out this way! A fun chain reaction sort of story (even circling back around to that cockatoo and her swishy target). The sort of pattern like in the If You Give a Mouse a Cookie series, where things come back around full circle. Could be a fun storytime read for any sort of...
