A cat and a dog set off on their own adventures, each intrigued by something they see. On the way, simple phrases like “fly fast” and “dart, dash” make this a fun read aloud and wonderful vocabulary lesson for young ones. As the animals explore, examine, inspect, and investigate their surroundings, a surprise brings the two together!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
"Adventure awaits" canine and feline fans alike in this brief, exhilarating board book about two pets' suburban explorations. Cole adeptly communicates action with single-word narration as a gray dog awakens ("sunrise") and mirrors the yogic pose of the orange tabby on the facing page ("stretch"), before the two venture out to separately "explore/ examine// inspect/ investigate." Common backyard inhabitants, including a blue jay and squirrel, provide cause for investigation, and when an owl's yellow eyes peer out from a tree trunk, curiosity gives way to a chance to "run!// race!" Safe at what turns out to be a shared home, the four-legged companions' snuggly camaraderie is on full display in a series of bird's-eye-view vignettes. Cole's attention to shadows adds texture to otherwise uncluttered scenes of the duo relishing an energetic outing's discoveries. All ages.
