Dog vs. Strawberry by Nelly Buchet
"This is the funny book in the selection! We've all seen a dog try and eat a strawberry and we know what kind of humor ensues!" -- nominator
Emma Full of Wonders by Elisha Cooper
Flat Cat by Tara Lazar
"This book has very cute illustrations that show a cat that is cool and flat and likes it that way. The book shows how he is happy with how he is but when he accidentally gets fluffy and cuddly, he learns that he can like himself however he is." -- nominator
Jump for Joy by Karen Gray Ruelle
"The symmetry of the story of a girl longing for a dog and a dog longing for a girl is appealing. It also has other patterns going through the seasons and is tied together in a very satisfying way. The illustrations also make use of small pops of colors with mostly black and white that allow students to notice how the illustrations impact the story." -- nominator
No Cats in the Library by Lauren Emmons
"There's a book loving cat and a library...need I say more? Just kidding- Kind of! The illustrations are beautiful and the storyline is magical and engaging. Every child I have read this book to has loved it." -- nominator
Rocket Puppies by William Joyce
"This is a sweet story with wonderful Joyce illustrations." -- nominator
