Ivan the Terrier

Hardcover, 32 pages; 2007
$13.59
In this rollicking picture book, an unseen narrator repeatedly tries to tell classic children's stories…but Ivan (a very naughty terrier) keeps interrupting the action! The rascally canine chases the Billy Goats Gruff out of their meadow, brings the three little pigs' house-building projects to a messy end; knocks the three bears' porridge right off the table, and even eats the freshly baked gingerbread man! Finally, the narrator gives up and decides to tell a story about Ivan, but that doesn't quite work out as planned, either. Peter Catalanotto's charming watercolor and gouache illustrations and playful text combine to help ornery, adorable Ivan win laughs and capture hearts. For ages 4-8.
