I spoke to the Librarian in the children's library at Johns Hopkins Hospital and she looked it up for me. I was actually amazed that I remembered enough of the title that she could find it. I haven't purchased one yet, but I will!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938617987945183593.post-89338920840538693492011-10-17T16:16:04.985-05:002011-10-17T16:16:04.985-05:00I was born in 1961 and I'm German.

And I learned my first english words from his story. I still have fond memories of the story and the illustrations and I would still recomend it as a very nice childrens book.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938617987945183593.post-29765235463066325102011-03-04T09:57:33.588-06:002011-03-04T09:57:33.588-06:00I was born in 1962 and remember this book from whe...I was born in 1962 and remember this book from when I was learning to read. I couldn't remember the title or even the story line. All I could remember was the phrase "cat-chasing dog." It thoroughly confused me - I was unable to parse "cat-chasing" as an adjective for the dog. I thought it was saying that the cat was chasing the dog - which didn't match the images or my conception of the usual interaction between cats and dogs. Now that I've found it again, the story line comes back to me, but what kept it in my head all these years was that mental stumbling block.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17410807339027112420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938617987945183593.post-79040878598036942009-11-27T20:18:31.885-06:002009-11-27T20:18:31.885-06:00Lora said...

The illustrations have lots of little clevernesses in them. :-)Sandy D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08650640470141210550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938617987945183593.post-80769808879556005152008-11-19T11:57:00.000-06:002008-11-19T11:57:00.000-06:00another girl after my own heart... awesome!another girl after my own heart... awesome!Burgin Streetmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13473712188879858952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938617987945183593.post-34414002174743593382008-11-19T11:31:00.000-06:002008-11-19T11:31:00.000-06:00This is one of my all time favorites as well.
