It has happened again, I have fallen in love in the library. Browsing the library shelves, I realized that Daredevil the Daring Life of Betty Skelton -- a new picture book biography -- is written and illustrated by the same author/illustrator who created Pop! The Invention of Bubble Gum. When shelving picture books, I found another Megan McCarthy in the stacks. Show Dog is fiction and a hilarious tale of a disheveled family with a regular dog that they want to enter into a show dog competition. The details in the illustrations will crack you up. Even though it is fiction, Show Dog does include good uses of labels on illustrations, an important informational text feature. I hope you come into the library and check out the books of Megan McCarthy and maybe fall in love with them too!
