title: Woof: A Love Story
author:  Sarah Weeks 
description: Starred Review. Kindergarten-Grade 2&mdash;An ordinary dog who likes to do ordinary dog things ("running and panting, sniffing and growling, rolling in things, digging and howling") happens to notice a pretty little cat and promptly falls in love. He smiles; she notices his large teeth. He approaches; she retreats. He calls up to the tree where she's hiding, "I love you!" But what she hears is, "Woof, woof, woof, woof." His affectionate whispers sound very much like growls. It's only when he digs up a very special brass bone&mdash;a trombone, in fact&mdash;that he finds a way to communicate his love in a language she understands. This affectionate and funny story is told almost musically, in rhythmic (if occasionally uneven) verse by expert storyteller Weeks. Berry's exuberant collage illustrations spill over the pages, gorgeously chaotic and filled with heart.&mdash;<I>Susan Weitz, formerly at Spencer-Van Etten School District, Spencer, NY</I> <BR>Copyright &copy; Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

  nticipation hung in the air like twirling, swirling, whirling cotton
  candy,” said Miss Maci Bell to the cheerful giggles of her first-grade
  class. She utilized her fifteen years of ballet to pirouette around the room with
  her notebook in one hand and a cone of freshly spun cotton candy in the
  other.
  Carter’s eyes nearly bugged out of his head as he bounced in his seat. He
  reached an open hand in the air as Maci passed his chair.
