Dog and Bear: Three to Get Ready by Laura Vaccaro Seeger
Excerpt

There's another three-for-the-price-of-one deal in Caldecott Honor Book author-illustrator Laura Vaccaro Seeger's Dog and Bear: Three to Get Ready. This third book in the series featuring the spunky dachshund and his low-key teddy bear amigo finds them kicking around at home, getting into mild, preschool-level trouble. Bear gets a bucket stuck on his head; Dog jumps too high on the bed; Bear organizes toys in alphabetically labeled boxes but forgets what letter he filed Dog's sock monkey under.

Seeger mixes bright, full-page illustrations against a stark white background with occasional pages of comics-style panels that capture a quick sequence of actions, as when Dog frees the bucket from Bear's head only to have it fall on his own. The variety, as well the irresistible characters and fun story lines, is very appealing.
