Cities

 The graphics in this book are just wonderful!  I especially loved the Tokyo page having actually been to that city last summer.  Books like this with little tidbits of information are always popular in our house.

Hot Dog

 I may favor vintage children's books but I'm always discovering new author/illustrators and adding them to my library.  I just got this fun book in the mail as a surprise from my friend, Margaux!  Since we both got puppies for the first time several years ago, we've realized that we've become "dog lovers!"  She knew I would like the clever title and how Doug Salati draws all the facial expressions and mannerisms of a little dachshund.

(Molly graciously posed for me.)

When it's too hot and crowded in the city, a dog has had enough!  So his owner takes him out for a day at the beach where he gets to romp and be refreshed.  Salati's spare text reads like a poem and his pictures capture the noisy city chaos giving way to a breezy beach.

City Night

 Another Peter Sis book, this time paired with Eve Rice's simple but effective poetry about a night out in the city.
