Book
Frank and Laverne / Dave Whamond, Jennifer Stokes.
Every morning by 06:00 hours, Frank is awake and on duty for Squirrel Patrol. This pug takes his role seriously: basic training, neighborhood surveillance, and, most importantly, protecting his humans and the cat, Laverne, from the Great Dane next door.Laverne, however, prefers a more refined lifestyle of napping, kneading her cat bed, and scorning humans' ridiculous behavior. As much as Frank loves her, the deadpan Laverne loathes Frank. She dreams of sending him away forever and claiming his fish-shaped chew toy for herself.Both pets report their perspectives separately, from opposite ends of the book, until the story comes to a head in the middle with a single encounter Frank and Laverne perceive in very different ways.Written in the style of a daily log with text and illustrations interspersed, the story abounds with verbal and visual humor that will appeal to reluctant readers. Rich vocabulary, onomatopoeia, and the play on opposing points of view make this a smart, laugh-out-loud pick for critical reading.

"Frank and Laverne's two tales are separately told in a clever 'flip-the-book' fashion, which allows you to get both sides of the story, making this a book for dog- and cat-lovers alike!"-- - Baker & Taylor
