Seeber, Dorothea P.

A Pup Just for Me / A Boy Just for Me

40 pp. | Philomel | May, 2000 | Trade ISBN 0-399-23403-9 $$16.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Ed Young. This back-to-back book gives the same story from two perspectives--a boy searches for a pup to love and a pup searches for a boy to love. Each story leads to the glorious middle of the book where puppy and boy find each other. Seeber's forced, often trite rhyme detracts from Young's beautiful, strongly emotive cut-paper collage illustrations of a dog and a boy on vividly colored backgrounds.
