The latest children's book to catch my eye is "Wag a Tail" by Lois Ehlert. This particular picture book had me constantly touching the pages to feel the different textures, even though I knew I really couldn't! The 3-D effect was that good! The story is very cute, too. Here's what Booklist said about it:

"Paper cutouts conjure up a cheerful dog-centered world in Ehlert's latest book. She fashions a straightforward plot--dogs go to a farmer's market with their owners in tow, then roam free at a dog park. The text is written simply, and beginning readers may enjoy giving it a try. It's all dog talk from the start: "Ha Woo. / How are you? / We are cool / We never drool. / We're graduates of the Bow Wow School." The main attractions are the sweet figures--canine and human--that move through the solid blocks of green in Ehlert's urban landscapes. The dogs celebrate the ordinary pleasures of companionship and movement, especially in the last pages, where they do backflips and somersaults above and around each other. And in their many colors and shapes, the dogs show what clever use can be made of paper, paint, buttons, and fabric. An author's note lets readers in on where she got the materials for this book and how she put them together "like a quilt." Abby Nolan Copyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved"
