The Desperate Dog Writes Again
5 stars
Author:/Illustrator: Eileen Christelow
Emma (the dog), George and a cat make a happy trio. Then George meets Loretta. Life is upended for Emma who writes Queenie (think Dear Abby for dogs).
Loretta and her dog Hankie have a happy life until she meets George. Life is upended.
Queenie's suggestions have hilarious consequences. There must be some way for Emma and Hankie to get their lives back. What is it?
The illustrations are done as though they belong in the Sunday comics. It works great in this book and adds to the laughs.
The Little White Owl
5 stars
Author: Tracey Corderoy
Illustrator: Jane Chapman
The little white owl lives alone in the far north with snow. One day the owl decides to go exploring the world and finds a forest with many colorful owls. They snub the little owl.
This little owl is inventive and persistent.
The story is a bit of whimsey as the owl lives with a teddy bear, a clock and eats toast.
The illustrations are soft. The Owls are so colorful. Their eyes are expressive. They make a cute book very charming.
