(2) PS An English text illustrated by Carle runs to the midpoint of the book; a Japanese text illustrated by Iwamura runs the opposite direction. Both texts tell the same simple story--a dog on its way to visit a child is joined by various animals. Bilingual kids are the best audience, but all readers can appreciate both sets of attractive illustrations in this innovative book.
