This elicited a chuckle at the end. Great illustrations speaking the dog's truth that every owner can attest to. Lots of fun.

I am a sucker for picture books with dismal grey shorelines and an adventure. This touching story has both.

Very sweet and very very fun to read book about mucky, dirty trucks and other construction vehicles.
Hysterical rhyming book about chickens escaping from their yard. Funny shenanigans ensue with each towns-person and animal- they encounter. This will appeal to lots of kids around here who's families own chickens!

From the Theodor Seuss Geisel Award–winning creators of See the Cat: Three Stories About a Dog comes a funny and handy guide that explains just how (and how not!) to say “I’m sorry.”
Not just about swimming, but about going UNDER. This book brought back all my memories of swimming at the local pool when I was a kid. The illustrations are fun and frantic. Loved it.

A deliciously funny story about Toasty, a piece of bread who wants to be a dog, for fans of Arnie the Doughnut by Laurie Keller and Everyone Loves Bacon by Kelly DiPucchio.
Bruce is back and still funny! Actually, Bruce is away in this one, and replaced by his "dingle pooper" Kevin who is out to have fun, fun, fun! Bruce's friends find out that sometimes too much fun is... too much. Hysterical.

This book speaks to a certain kind of situation, a child spending summer vacations far away from home, but it is really sweet and the illustrations are wonderful. Would make a good father's day gift for the right grandpa.
Floca's illustrations are again flawless. While we may seem inundated with "living with COVID" children's books right now, this would be my top choice. Showcases all the essential workers that got us through the pandemic.
