ENCHANTED STORIES: Two Dogs on a Trike

Two Dogs on a Trike
By Gabi Snyder
Illustrated by Robin Rosenthal
Abrams, 2020. Picture Book.

This is a new counting book that is quite hilarious. One dog is standing all alone as another dog goes by. Then the two dogs move along on a trike. Adventures and various modes of transportation continue as the dogs are counted up to ten—though there is one dog that doesn’t really seem like a dog! Which causes a touch of chaos as the count-down to one begins. Readers will notice what the dogs do not and may even snicker along with the disguised animal. And the fun twist at the end will allow readers to imagine the counting beginning all over again. Snyder and Rosenthal have made an enchanting counting book (both forward and backward counting) for young readers who love animals!

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.
