Pat Schories' compelling, easy-to-follow, wordless pictorial narratives introduce pre-literate children to the elements of story
In this wordless picture book, there's a lot going on at Jack's house, and someone forgot to feed him. (PreK-K) 32 pp. HC
"Boy and dog, with their matching freckles, facial expressions, and orange hair/fur, are plenty appealing, but the exuberant aliens steal the show with their goofy antics and appearance (picture mini-tinmen with luminous Christmas-bulb eyes, noses, and antennae). The humorous details in the art (the spaceship looks like a VW bug without tires), the story's brief suspense, and the book's small trim size make this exactly right for pre-readers to 'read' to an adult or enjoy on their own." -Horn Book
