One morning, when George walks into his kitchen, he finds someone sitting at his table. “Who are you?” he asks. “I’m your shadow,” answers the shadow.

Or is he both?From the award-winning pair behind I Can’t Wait and The Enemy comes a sweet, silly, and often poignant look at how unexpected friendship can be. With mod, quirky art full of personality from Serge Bloch (Butterflies in My Stomach and The Big Adventure of a Little Line) and a disarming text from Davide Cali (I Didn’t Do My Homework Because . . .), George and His Shadow is charming! Perfect for fans of Leo: A Ghost Story and Imaginary Fred.

An unseen reader goes head-to-head with the big bad wolf in this hilarious counting-book twist on The Three Little Pigs.\nOnce upon a time, there were three little pigs. 
Then the wolf ate them. 
THE END.\nThis story is too short! I want a longer one!\nIn this clever counting book, the big bad wolf doesn’t want to tell a long story. He wants to get to the eating part. But the reader has other ideas. From a pig soccer team to a pig for every letter of the alphabet to 101 pigs in an animated movie, the stories get more and more fantastical . . . but they’re always too short and they ALL end the same way.\nUsing an abacus as the basis for her illustrations, Marianna creates beguiling little pigs and a menacing but slightly bored wolf that perfectly complement the inventive story by Davide Cali. Come for the counting, stay for the storytelling! This book has it all.

Review\nBooklist (starred review) 
“A waggish tale for those who understand dogs (or think they do).”\nSchool Library Journal 
“While this is not an essential purchase, it may suit the shelf with titles on the pandemic; it does touch on some of the needs of those still working from home, from a more childlike point of view.”\nThe New York Times New York Public Library Best Illustrated Children’s Books Award (2022)\nA dog has an important job to do, especially if his human is a writer. Without a dog by his side, the writer would forget to eat. He’d never get out of his pajamas, and he’d probably stare at the computer all day long. But even the best French bulldog can’t do everything. Maybe this perfect pair needs someone new in their lives… 
Illustrated in warm, earthy tones, this witty story reflects the ways dogs change our lives for the better. Our canine friends can make—and find—the best companions.\nFrom School Library Journal\nPreS-Gr 1-This book takes a wry look at work from home and the need for companionship from a pet's point of view. An unnamed French bulldog doesn't understand his human's behavior. Why would anyone want to "tic-tic-tic" on a computer all day long, sometimes forgetting the basics such as food and exercise? Good thing the little Frenchie is around to nudge the writer in the proper direction-say, to the park to find a companion. Depicted in a muted palette, the drawings highlight the size difference between the human and their small pet, with people often appearing out of frame or slightly oversize for their surroundings. There is not a lot of action in this title, but readers will know that the little dog cares for its human. VERDICT While this is not an essential purchase, it may suit the shelf with titles on the pandemic; it does touch on some of the needs of those still working from home, from a more childlike point of view.-Heather Webbα(c) Copyright 2011.
