Big Mean Mike

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Scott Magoon. Mike, "the biggest, toughest dog in the whole neighborhood," is embarrassed by the cute little bunnies that keep sneaking into his "big, mean car." However, they turn out to be good company, so Mike stops worrying about his image. This ultimately tender story's mixed-media illustrations comically play up the contrast between the adorable fuzzy bunnies and their hulking, loving bad boy.
