Open Me...I'm a Dog

First to recommend

Description

From graphic novelist, Art Spiegelman of "Maus" fame, this children's book claims it's really a dog stuck in a books binding. It comes complete with a leash and a dog tail.

My 2-year-old niece loves it, but adults are drawn to it too. (via Dog Art Today)

The Costume Party

First to recommend

Description

The Costume Party by Victoria Chess tells the story of Madame Coco and her five Bull Terriers. Forced inside on a series of rainy days, they decide to throw a costume party to entertain themselves.

The illustrations and the bad dogs are hilarious. These are real dogs "doing their business" and ripping up cushions, drawn in a style compared to the great Edward Gorey.

My niece loved the large vivid pictures as a baby and still continues to enjoy it now that she's 3. I love it too!

Highly recommend! (via Dog Art Today)
