Look What I See
Judi Barrett, illus. by Ron Barrett. Little Simon, $8.99 (32p) ISBN 978-1-5344-3073-0
This board book from the creators of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs shows the world from a dog’s-eye view. From the moment it wakes up, a pup in a striped shirt invites readers to share its point of view. Each spread shows two perspectives—the left-hand pages examines the dog in the world: in its room getting dressed, outside gazing at a puddle, in a lawn chair peering through a telescope. On the facing pages, the images give readers the hound’s view: through the cloth of a T-shirt as it is pulled over its head, its own reflection in the puddle, a nest of birds through the telescope’s lens. Absurd details, such as a toupee flying off a stately dog portrait, add silly fun to this welcome encouragement to look at life from new, unconventional perspectives. Ages 1–5. [em](May)
