Dog in Charge
by K.L. Going
Dial Books for Young Readers, 2012. Unpaged. Picture book.

Dog is smart. Dog is obedient. When his family takes a trip and leaves him in charge of the five cats, he figures they will all just SIT and STAY the whole time the family is away. But the cats have other ideas. Dog only turns his back for a moment--and the mischievous cats vanish. Dog has to find them and stop them from wrecking the whole house before their family gets home and tells him he is a BAD DOG for not doing his job. This is a darling book with a simple story and colorful pictures that will make even the youngest of preschool readers smile.

Review: I Hate Everything!

  I Hate Everything! By Sophy Henn  New York: Beach Lane Books, 2025. Picture Book.  Two ghosts are floating atop a solid colored background. The first one yells, “I HATE EVERYTHING!” The second ghost responds, “Really?” Thus, begins the conversation which helps the first ghost realize that they don’t actually hate everything. This is a great picture book that is all about feelings and ghosts. The simple speech bubbles will allow even young preschoolers to understand what is happening. The illustrations though simple, have clever bits that readers will laugh out loud at. Basically, this is a brilliant book that every young reader who is mad at the world (or who knows someone who seems to be mad at the world) should read.
