(4) K-3 Illustrated by Henry Cole. Muldoon the dog has important work to do: he must wake his family, walk the children, do the gardening, etc. While the text describes Muldoon's jobs from his point of view (e.g., "He makes sure the cat stays on its diet"), the cartoony illustrations show what's happening from the family's perspective (Muldoon eats the cat's food). This juxtaposition, while not totally original, proves amusing throughout.
