Another cute book!

Boy reads to dog!

This is cute, although the kid doesn't like to be interrupted while he's reading. So after the start, skip ahead to 1:30! (Apache is a good boy!)

Good Dog!

From OCD: Obsessive Corgi Disorder.

Lisa Simpson likes unicorns.

She even wrote a book about them: Unicorns and Me!

"Cute!" Preview

I've gotten lots of questions about exactly what's in Cute! So I'm putting up some page previews. First up, the Table of Contents:

The book has a number of running features . . . for example, the series called "Cute Qualities":

There are some controversial aspects to cuteness that are resolved in the Cuteness Courtroom. Here's one now!

I'm realizing I can never preview all the cool stuff in this book, so let me end with a two-page spread from the chapter "Cute Things That Aren't Cute." This part has to do with unicorns!

For some weird reason, I'm in the mood to read a book!

Maybe it has to do with this kid's powers of persuasion! (He was interviewed at a bookstore in San Antonio called Half-Price Books.)

Kittens Love Reading!

But kittens are NOT keen on Leo Tolstoy's books, like War and Peace. (As one commenter says, "I guess he chose war!")

Cute Kids!

I was at A Children's Place bookstore in Portland when a group of kids on a treasure hunt came in. They turned out to be pretty nice! (That's my dog, Ruby, in the front.)
