(2) 1-3 Translated by Bill Nagelkerke. Illustrated by Marije Tolman. From the outset they are a study in contrasts: little white Dog in neat red trousers; his cousin, shaggy gray Wolf, wild and lawless. Even so, they're friends. Small trim size, an open format, deft characterizations in pen-and-ink and watercolor, appealing spot art on most spreads, and a brief text laced with dialogue all recommend this for listeners as well as readers.
