An assortment of farm animals unknowingly play a game of phone tag. The best part is the aside pictures of each animal's phrase.

This short book with bold illustrations would be great for storytime.

Accompanied with stunning mixed-art illustrations, Thompson presents forgiveness without preaching.

Love the illustrations that remind me of Pixar films. There were some jolty parts that felt like a few plot-developing lines were left out but an overall fun story.

Intriguing plot + annoying character quirks/ writing style + reading this for too long = Blaise book
Something about this book rubbed me the wrong way. I appreciate the male perspective without a thick layer of humor (a rut that most ya male protagonist books have fallen into) but there were little, personal things about the writing which made me abandon reading it. Using people's full names every time they're brought up, adding in meaningless dialogue that doesn't contribute to the character, and the same ongoing conflict (she's embarrassed of my age). I understand that the character development is superseded by plot, but the plot is repetitive and stagnant.

Animal: Cat
If I were to write a book, it would be this one. Another wry humored book where the words conflict with the illustrations in a very funny way, similar to John Klassen.
The amazing Hamweenie wants to be so much more, live so much more than his painfully pampered life. Like all cats, he is unimpressed by the efforts of his human, waiting for the day when he can escape his agonizing abuse. Not good for read alouds but absolutely perfect for one-on-one where the text is sparse but each picture lends forth observations and investigations by reader and listener alike.

Animal: Cat
A typical story about a house cat that leave his home to look for adventure and the unknown. What he doesn't anticipate are his recently eaten pork chops weighing him down. This book has a great story with a clear beginning, middle, and end with just a touch of suspense. It gets an extra star for the clear, emotion-filled illustrations (reminded me of Marla Frazee) that match up perfectly with the story.
