135. See the Dog: Three Stories About a Cat


See the Dog: Three Stories About a Cat. David LaRochelle. Illustrated by Mike Wohnoutka. 2021. [September] 64 pages. [Source: Review copy]

First sentence: See the dog. 

Premise/plot: See the Dog: Three Stories About a Cat is a companion book to LaRochelle's See the Cat: Three Stories About a Dog. In this early chapter book (or early reader???), the cat has a bit of fun with the narrator. The narrator is still being BOSSY, but the cat can hold her own.

The cat is substituting for the dog... The three stories are "See the Dog," "See the Lake," and "See the Sheep." By the end of the book, the cat is ready to QUIT.

My thoughts: I really LOVED both books. I especially loved, loved, loved the first book. But both books are fun, fiesty, silly, wonderful, delightful. I really enjoyed the humor and the simplicity. You don't need a lot of words in order to laugh.
