When Lucy the Cat Came to My HomeEven in this poem, I have to mention that round shapes around the cuddling animals heads form the Os in COOPERATE. And that the poem is written in all caps, except for the i’s, which are lowercase. But if I copied that exact format online it would look like I was shouting, while instead on the page it invites the reader to share in a special moment of acceptance. A fantastic book for dog-lovers certainly, but also for connoisseurs of Art and Words and Poetry.
When i saw that the squirt
Was here to stay,
That she certainly wasn’t
Going away,
i concluded we had to
Cohabitate,
And the thing to do was
COOPERATE!
(on cold, dark nights
her purring’s great!)
Poetry Friday is hosted today at A Wrung Sponge. And by the way, I must mention that it’s... Friday, friday! Gotta get down on Friday! Everybody’s lookin’ forward to the weekend, weekend!

I've heard lots about this book now...can't wait to see it for myself!
(thanks for the video, even though I watched it on Saturday, the day after...)
I adored this book, as well. In the school library, I used a document camera to blow it up large to show it to students. It's also a hard book to read aloud! But so much fun, it's worth the extra effort.
I love books that combine words and art. This book sounds great!
