The story is fine and I love the illustrations even though they are not typical picture book fare. But we need to talk about the way the words lay out. On half the pages they are hard to read. The layout uses lots of color to highlight words. It looks good but since pastels are used on light backgrounds instead of dark or white, it is impossible to read. I couldn’t tell you the name of the second dog because it could not be seen well enough to be read. Please fix this before publication.
