cats and dogs
WHAT CAT IS THAT? ALL ABOUT CATS by Tish Rabe with illustrations by Aristides Ruiz and Joe Mathieu. Random House (Cat in the Hat Learning Library), 2013.
Simple text and illustrations worthy of the Dr. himself inform readers all about cats. Breeds, physical features, and behaviors are three aspects of the learning that can take place within the pages of this book.
DOG LOVES COUNTING by Louise Yates. Knopf, 2013.
A terrific story involves dog who cannot sleep. Counting sheep is not helping and so Dog turns to books for other things to count. He begins with one egg, a dodo, and then the counting continues in book after book.
