Books for National Dog Day episode 3: A Book to Make You Laugh

Buy Dear Mrs. LaRue Here

My little boy loves to be read to.  He's a decent little reader now himself, but he still loves to grab a picture book and curl up for me to read to him.  One of his favorites features a silly dog named Ike, who is prone to exaggeration but is really a good dog at heart.  With funny illustrations showing both Ike's point of view and reality, I'll bet you AND your kids will laugh and the discrepancies.

Raise your hand if you love Mo Willems! If you have a small person (child, not just a super short sibling or something) in your life, or just have a goofy sense of humor, I'm guessing you'll be excited about this - it's Mo Willem's first chapter book! Illustrated by Caldecott-honoree Tony DiTerlizzi, The Story of Diva and Flea will be coming to my home next November for sure!  

From the publisher: 
Diva, a small yet brave dog, and Flea, a curious streetwise cat, develop an unexpected friendship in this unforgettable tale of discovery.

For as long as she could remember, Diva lived at 11 avenue Le Play in Paris, France. For as long as he could remember, Flea also lived in Paris, France-but at no fixed address. When Flea flâneurs past Diva's courtyard one day, their lives are forever changed. Together, Diva and Flea explore and share their very different worlds, as only true friends can do.
