Books like Dog Food
By Saxton Freymann
An alphabet journey where each letter unfolds into a densely packed illustration, from Armored Armadillos Avoiding an Angry Alligator to Horrible Hairy Hogs Hurrying Homewards, hiding dozens of matching objects to hunt for.
A child imagines an entire day as a horse — galloping through familiar settings, wondering if they'd fit in their clothes, and whether a little sister would get a ride.
An alphabet book set inside a lavish old Victorian mansion, where animals from A to Z turn up in surprising rooms — an elephant playing trains in the ballroom, a zebra soaking in the bathtub.
A young boy imagines that dinosaurs never disappeared, picturing them back in the world doing helpful, everyday jobs for people instead of roaming wild.
A witch sneaks into a boy's room one night and casts a switching spell, and by morning Nicholas wakes up inside his cat Leonardo's body — and Leonardo inside his.
A scene-stealing cat named Chester hijacks his own picture book, swiping the author's supplies and insisting he can write a better story than she can — with mixed results.
A drowsy kitten chases a mouse right through a framed poster on the wall, tumbling into a chase across famous artworks and through history — and then must find his way back home.
An author sits down to write a story about a mouse in a house, but her cat Chester keeps grabbing a red marker to rewrite the pages his way — turning the book into a battle over who's really in charge.
A cast of insects — damselflies, beetles, and a pill bug named Icky — watches a tiny shoot grow into a plant, builds a tree fort in its branches, and faces something horrible that swoops down from above.
Two best friends who've already played every game, baked every cookie, and painted every picture decide to try something harder: standing perfectly still and doing nothing for ten whole seconds.
A white shape drifts across page after page of blue sky, looking like a rabbit, a bird, an ice-cream cone, and more — until a final reveal answers what it really is.
