Say Hello to Zorro! (2011) - Carter Goodrich




















Say Hello to Zorro! has a lot going for it. Not only is it a great dog story, it also says a lot about how siblings can behave towards each other. When a new dog comes into the family, there's always potential for shenanigans and there certainly are many here. This book would work well for smaller storytime groups, since the text and pictures are a bit on the small side. Of course, for a one-on-one book, it should be a big hit. Goodrich's artwork is excellent, especially the facial expressions of the dogs. (You just have to be pretty close to see them.)
