PS
Imported from Italy, these brightly colored picture books invite readers to rouse, play with, and finally soothe the digitally rendered pets: "Go on, give him a rub." The small trim size and cheerful tone bring to mind Chris Raschka's Thingy Things books; these appeal to the same toddler audience, who will likely enjoy interacting with the cartoony pets (despite their fleas and occasional bad behavior). Review covers these titles: The Cat Book and The Dog Book.
