"Pete the Cat Goes Camping" and "After the Fall" and "Russell the Sheep"
Yes, I know. There are three books this time. I'd picked out two and passed a display with Pete the Cat. I can't pass him up.
Pete the Cat Goes Camping
5 stars
Author/Illustrator: James Dean
Pete the Cat is going on his first camping trip with his family. They do some usual things like hike and fish. At night Pete finds the noises are strange. Somehow Bigfoot sneaks into the story.
The illustrations are typical Pete the Cat. They have lots of color and help make the story fun.
After the Fall
5 stars
Author/Illustrator: Dan Santat
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
What happened to Humpty Dumpty after that?
According to this story, he picked himself up and made a new life for himself. But that wall kept calling him. Fear of falling kept him off the wall until...
The illustrations seem realistic, yet create an imaginary world. They make him seem like someone you might know.
The ending is perfect.
Russell the Sheep
5 stars
Author/Illustrator: Rob Scotton
Everyone has those nights when they just can't go to sleep. Russell is having one and it puts him out of step with the other sheep who are all sleeping peacefully. How is Russell going to get to sleep?
The sheep are rather cute, although they look a bit like cotton balls with tails, legs and heads. They are definitely soft and wooly looking. Russell's frog friend adds humor. The various sheep poses are fun too.
