Animals Home Alone

by Loes Riphagen

Summary: After a young girl and her father leave, the animals left in the house engage in all sorts of antics, with the fish leaving his bowl, the cat calling his friends, and the dog trying on shoes.

This is a funny book with very detailed illustrations. As with all wordless book, the reader should ask children what they think is happening and to tell a story from the pictures. When reading with a young child one on one, it is appropriate to play a “find and point” game which entails asking a child if they can point out certain details in the illustrations.
