Daring Dog and Captain Cat

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Joe Cepeda. Irving the dog and Ermine the cat play traditional pet roles during the day, but at night they transform themselves into sword-wielding, crook-catching Daring Dog and Captain Cat. Adoff's "shaped speech" is well suited to a tale that is both vigorous and dreamlike. The flattened perspective of the textured oil illustrations captures the mysterious nighttime atmosphere as well as the antics of the heroes.
