Houndsley and Catina and the Birthday Surprise

42 pp. | Candlewick | October, 2006 | Trade ISBN 0-7636-2405-5 $14.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Marie-Louise Gay. Houndsley the dog and Catina the cat are sad because they don't know their own birthdays. So, unbeknownst to the other, each friend plans a birthday surprise. Young readers will be amused by the maneuvering to fit the two parties into one evening. Quiet humor and soft watercolor, pencil, and collage illustrations support this more sophisticated easy reader.
