Items related to Riley and Rose in the Picture
Riley and Rose can't agree what to draw. Rose wants to draw trees and bugs and carrot cake; Riley wants to draw dots and lines and shapes. But isn't a bug just a circle with legs and spots, and a flag a triangle? There's no need for them to fight - is there?

From School Library Journal:
PreSchool-Grade 2–While trapped in the house on a rainy day, Riley the dog and Rose the cat, trying desperately not to get into a fight, decide to draw pictures. As if their very feline/canine natures don't make this difficult enough, it turns out that their artistic natures clash as well. Riley, ever literal, draws circles, triangles, and spirals and wants them to be exactly that while Rose, who is more of a dreamer, thinks more abstractly. To her a simple circle can become a bug, a flower, the sun, etc. Still, Riley thinks she's ruining the integrity of his shapes, and even with all their peaceful intentions, a fight erupts. Once they get that out of their systems, they decide to give drawing (and getting along) one more try, and this time they actually do learn to see the world a bit more through one another's eyes. This clever story is packaged in clean, attractive pages with comical cartoon illustrations, making it great for sharing aloud. Pair it with Peter Reynolds's The Dot (Candlewick, 2003) for young artists who think they can't draw, use it to talk about shapes, or read it with siblings who sometimes just don't see eye to eye.–Julie Roach, Watertown Free Public Library, MA
