Submitted by Ms. Tess!Animals Home Alone, by Loes Riphagen, explores the potential private life of the animals we leave at home when we go out. Not just the goldfish, or the house cat, but animals in pictures on walls, or in story books, stuffed animals… even the bugs hidden in the house get in on the action! In the front of the book, Riphagen gives names to all the animals you’re about to meet (real names, like Bert, and Katherine). Over the next 24 pages, the animals go wild! They watch TV, eat snacks, try on clothes, even fall in love and have babies, all while the little girl of the house and her daddy are out. At the end of the book Riphagen quizzes you on what you just saw: What was Bibi looking for? Why does Piggy have a stomachache? And more! This wordless picture book is a hoot to flip through over and over again, to make sure you haven’t missed out on any of the animals’ fun! See this book listed in our catalog
