PreS—The animal stars of these books follow their humans on typical pet adventures. Dog goes for a hike, and cat journeys to the attic in one or two word pages. "Up the hill, Dog comes too." "Too wide" shows a person's legs stepping from hillock to hillock. "Big jump" depicts the little dog jumping the same distance. After an effortful hike "Two friends, To the top, Together." Little cat finds a missing piece of laundry in a basket after a similar arc. The whimsical illustrations are bright and soft with expressive animals while the humans are shown mostly as feet. The simple, repetitive language fits the gentle mood. A library looking to add to its board book collection will find these a sweet addition.—Amelia Jenkins, Juneau Public Library, AK
