At Kids Can Press, we recognize that viewing a single spread is not always effective when attempting to evaluate reading level, gauging student interest or appraising the quality and detail of illustration in a children’s book.

For this reason, we have worked with Lookybook.com to incorporate full, cover-to-cover previews of select picture books and early reading titles within our on-line store. We believe that Lookybook is the most compelling previewing experience currently available on-line, and that it’s as close and you can get to flipping through pages of the real book in a bookstore, at a trade show or school library. We hope that you will take advantage of this useful feature while browsing through our Web site.

For more information about Lookybook, or to read reviews of our books by librarians, industry experts and moms and dads, visit www.lookybook.com.

Hardcover Jacket USD $16.95 978-1-55453-577-4 Grades: PreSchool to 2 Ages: 3 to 7 Language Arts Skills & Strategies early reading Genre, Literature, Understanding graphic novels humor Reading Levels: Fountas & Pinnell WB Grade Level K-1 © 2011 4-color 7 1/2 x 10 32 pages	This zany tale pits a grouchy pooch against Hocus Pocus, a mischievous blue bunny who lives in a magician's hat. When Hocus Pocus spots a bunch of tantalizing carrots poking out of a shopping bag, he decides he must have them. But to reach the kitchen counter, he must risk waking Dog, a pet canine who snoozes nearby. Tiptoeing in a pair of bunny slippers works beautifully at first — until a peanut shell gets crunched loudly underfoot. Soon, Dog is wide awake, and the two begin a hilarious battle, trading victories and defeats and ultimately attracting the attention of the none-too-pleased magician. A classic retro feel gives the illustrations and story a fun punch. Reviews “Like a classic Looney Tunes cartoon on paper, it’s all quick action and hilarious slapstick.” — Kirkus Reviews, June 2011 “The drawings are colorful, and the amusing facial expressions and antics of Dog and Hocus Pocus will appeal to children.” — School Library Journal, September 2011 “Without words, the book may be zipped through, but younger readers with burgeoning observation and comprehension skills can be encouraged to give art as much consideration as letters and will enjoy testing them.” — Publishers Weekly, July 2011
