PreS-Gr 1—Winnie adores her dog, but her older sister says, 'We should replace you with a cat.' Readers will agree. The dog roots in the garbage for food (even after his bowl is filled) and rips the heads off teddy bears. Winnie sees none of this bad behaviour. She says, 'Waldorf is very well behaved.' Both dog and girl apologise profusely to Sara, though, when he breaks a string on the violin she was playing that night at the family's concert. But it's the dog's bad behaviour that eventually wins over Sara: the distraction he causes at the performance gives her enough time to get over her stage fright. Families with dogs will see the humour in this mixed-media and digitally illustrated book; cat lovers will be shaking their heads in wonder.—Tanya Boudreau, Cold Lake Public Library, AB, Canada --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

Kati Hites, a Hungarian American, grew up in Oakland, New York, and Europe. She studied at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, focusing on children's book illustration. Kati also spent time studying astrophysics at Columbia University. When she isn't drawing or painting, she's probably gardening, bird-watching, or reading about astronomy. A constant source of inspiration is her dog, Matyi, and their adventures together.
