"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Julie Fogliano has spent her entire life reading children's books. Now she stays up way too late writing her own while eating cereal. She lives in the Hudson Valley with her husband and their three children. They make her very tired, but give her lots of good ideas, including And Then It's Spring, If You Want to See a Whale, and When Green Becomes Tomatoes.
Chris Raschka is a writer-illustrator of over sixty books for children. Among them are Charlie Parker
played be bop, Yo! Yes?, A Poke in the I, Five for a Little One, and A Ball for Daisy. He has received the
Caldecott Medal twice, and the New York Times Best Illustrated Book Citation five times. He lives with his
family in New York City.
PreS-K—Those privileged to have known a mild-mannered dog, a martyr to baby love, a dog that will withstand any annoyance from an infant and still adore him, will appreciate this sweet story told in verse. Fogliano's spare, pitch-perfect rhymes capture the joyful meeting between a blond-haired diapered baby and a shaggy dog on the kitchen floor. Simple rhymes create the mood: "Baby hurry/baby wiggle/'puppy! puppy!'/baby giggle." The exploration is mutual: "Old dog sniffs/with old dog nose/baby fingers/baby toes" until they are down for the count, sleeping flat out on the floor. Raschka's illustrations add hilarity and an additional layer to the narrative. He includes different legs and shoes on the periphery of the page, and readers can guess who is entering and who is leaving the kitchen. The illustrator mirrors the minimalist verse with his simple brushstrokes of watery oranges, blues, and greens. VERDICT Great for preschool storytime or for one-on-one sharing.—Teresa Pfeifer, The Springfield Renaissance School, MA
