Caleb & Kate by William Steig
Loved this Steig book too! Caleb and Kate are a married couple who love each other but fight every once in a while. One day after an argument Caleb storms out and goes into the woods where he falls asleep. A witch turns him into a dog and he goes back home. Kate is sick with worry and goes out to try to find Caleb who she doesn't realize is her new stray dog. This book is very sweet and um . . . humbling.
Big Chickens Fly the Coop by Leslie Helakoski
Rhyming book about 4 chickes who want to leave their coop and visit the farmhouse. The first thing they see has a roof, a door and a tail. It turns out to be the doghouse. Next they see something with a chimney, a seat and tires. It's a tractor. And they just keep making these hilarious mistakes and totally freaking out when they all get attacked.
When Poppy and Max Grow Up by Lindsey Gardiner
Super simple book about a little girl named Poppy and her dog Max. Poppy has many aspirations for when she's older. She's going to be a vet, a diver, a rock star, etc. But for now she's happy with her job taking care of Max. Aw.
Picky Mrs. Pickle by Christine M. Schneider
This is a rhyming book about a woman who is dead set in her gross taste ways. She's all about green and pickles--pickle pie, pickle ice cream, green shoes, etc. One day her niece gets her to try some eggplant ice cream and Mrs. Pickle's whole world opens up.
