(1) PS Illustrated by June Otani. In this follow-up to Little Dog Poems, Little Dog hosts a sleepover when big dog Duncan, a rangy Irish wolfhound, comes for a visit. As in the first book, the verses themselves could hardly be shorter, but they are just the right size for Little Dog and little kids. The layout of the poems is harmoniously designed both for sense and for interplay with Otani's beguilingly casual watercolor sketches.

(2) PS Illustrated by June Otani. From waking to bedtime, a cycle of brief poems follows a busy little golden brown mop of a dog through the day. The poems are voiced by the dog's constant companion, a self-possessed little girl, and the language is simple and concrete enough for the youngest listeners. Otani's pen and watercolor illustrations make a fine complement to the verse, characterizing the pair as curious and alert as well as affectionate.
