(2) PS The yellow dog from Twohy's Geisel Honor–winning Oops, Pounce, Quick, Run! creates more mayhem in this concept book demonstrating opposites. A gray housecat is curled up peacefully on a chair ("Asleep") until the rowdy dog bursts through an open window: "Awake." Twohy's cartoony illustrations directly reinforce the text, and thoughtful placement of the book's twenty-eight words supports meaning, making this silly picture book function also as a beginning reader.
