Lulu Joanis's Reviews > Open Me...I'm a Dog

Absolutely adorable! Read this at the library for a project on immigrant art; I chose Art Spiegelman, since I read Maus a while ago and loved it. After rereading Maus, I tried out In the Shadow of No Towers, Breakdowns, and then this is the last book of his I could find that is written purely by him, not collaborated on or edited by him or part of a larger series. (Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, I'd love to discover more of his work!)

I didn't expect much from this, but hey, it was a quick read, and I figured I'd exhaust all of my options; but like the best kid-lit, this has a wider appeal than just children, as it explores themes of magical realism, identity vs. expression, and pet care.

I can't wait to adopt this dog for my shelf!
