Illustrated by
Vicki Nerino.
After hours, zoo residents plus local animals head to the nightclub-esque Story Zoo, which tonight features four dogs' stories. Panning out to the wisecracking audience in between sets, this graphic novel will appeal to animal lovers, particularly dog lovers, with wry humor à la New Yorker cartoons. Nerino's line work in the digitally colored illustrations lends a certain scruffiness that keeps cuteness at bay.
