Pleasing to the eyes and ears, this picture book is great for group storytimes as well as for reading to kids at home.

There's something to please nearly everyone in this tale.—Gay Lynn Van Vleck, Henrico County Library, Glen Allen, VACopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. Young listeners will take pleasure in finding Abby's lithe black cat, which appears in the larger scenes. A "Yee-haw!" on the cowgirl page and three wishes when Abby's a genie will keep youngsters guessing what this engaging dog will try next. On Sunday, when Abby is herself, her mother's response remains the same, with a cuddle for good measure. When Abby is a pirate, she and mom "swab the decks." When she announces that she is a witch, they concoct a delicious brew called soup. A view of "rounding up livestock" (two escaped hamsters) is especially comic.
