APRIL 2021 PICTURE BOOK BOX  

• Cat and Dog by Jonathan Bentley. New in paperback, this very funny book is reminiscent of Cat in the Hat and Pig the Pug. A rather grumpy, snobby cat and a small hyper dog devise a plan to escape their home. What could possibly go wrong?! This very talented author/illustrator is from Brisbane, Australia.
• Anonymouse by Vikki VanSickle (Toronto, Ontario) and illustrated by Anna Pirolli (Milan, Italy). This quirky and charming book is about a mouse that creates Banksy-like art across a city for the other animals. The images are both funny and serious, causing the animals to think. When the art suddenly disappears, they are inspired to create their own. A perfect book to encourage children to create their own art. No doubt, Anonymouse will be picking up a few awards and honours.
