Art Dog
5 stars
Author/Illustrator: Thacher Hurd
Arthur is a guard at the Dogopolis Museum of Art. He is a quiet soul except when the moon is full. then the box of paints comes out of the closet and Art Dog goes out to create his masterpieces around town. Then a painting is stolen and Art Dog stumbles onto the trail.
Art Dog paints in the Impressionist style and the illustrations often have take offs from famous paintings of that style. They are filled with bold strokes and color.
Eyes that Kiss in the Corners
3 stars
Author: Joanna Ho
Illustrator: Dung Ho
A Chinese girl reflects on the shape of her eyes and how they are like those of her family.
The illustrations are a blend of Oriental and Western styles. Many of the pictures have flowers and butterflies in them. All have a flowing feel to them and say much more than the text about this girl and her family.
Too Many Carrots
4 stars
Author/Illustrator: Katy Hudson
Rabbit loves carrots and collects as many as he can until his house is so full he no longer fits inside. So he asks to stay with friends. the problem is that he can't leave his carrots behind.
The illustrations are cute. The carrots look enticing.
