Cat Dog. Mem Fox. Illustrated by Mark Teague. 2021. 40 pages. [Source: Library]
First sentence: So there was a scary dog, right? No! But there was a cat, right? Yes! And thew dog was wide awake, right? No! But the cat saw a mouse right? Yes! And the dog knew something was up, right? No!
Premise/plot: Cat Dog is Mem Fox's newest picture book. It stars a cat, a dog, and a mouse. But what is the *real* story?
My thoughts: The illustrations and narration sometimes clash in this call and response picture book. I thought it was funny. I think it would probably work best one on one--a parent and child. I think as a read aloud for a larger group of children, it would be harder to see all the details of the illustrations. And most of the story is told through the illustrations.
