Woof A Love Story



Woof A Love Story
By: Sarah Weeks
Illustrated by: Holly Berry

Ages 4-8

An unusual pair, a dog and a cat learn to express their love for each other through music, using a trombone (much different from a "bone" bone!). Woof A Love Story is a poem and Rhymes throughout the pages as the cat and dog learn to understand the different languages that they "speak." Although the rhymes are simple, this would be a fun book for kids to use if they are just learning about poetry or if they are beginning to write their own poetry. The text is mostly in paragraph format and the "quotes" from the animals are often high lighted in word bubbles. The illustrations are very different from traditional pictures because each individual image looks like a cut out picture and they are layered on top of each other. The colors are used to describe feelings that the dog and cat have. and the pages are very visually stimulating with lots of small pictures and objects to look at on each page. Woof is a great wuv <3>
