This review is from: Hounded (Animaniacs) (Paperback)

This is one of my favorite childhood books. It's not even so much memorable for the fact that it stars the Animaniacs, or for its simple story, but for the absolutely delightful illustrations in it. The drawings of the five dogs that the Warner brothers (and sister) care for are inspirational and have a quality of design to them that most 'kiddie' books lack.

The dogs are a basically well-mannered little black Scottie, a spunky and mischievous fawn-colored Pug, a very large and energetic Shepherd-like male, a small/medium-sized liver-colored mix (perhaps Labrador Retriever/scenthound/terrier?), and a lovely butterscotch-colored female Saluki (the only girl of the group...hmm, of whom does she remind me?) These members of the canine quintet are nameless, but I have called them Jake, Monroe, Brom, Mungo, and Ilsa, respectively, for a long time. That's how fun the pictures are--these nameless dog characters seem to have such great personalities that it leads you to want to flesh them out yourself!

I love this Golden 'Look-Look' Book. Others, such as the Anastasia "How To Behave Like a Princess" book, also feature such wonderful, creative illustrations as well as very entertaining text, and are highly recommended. (Coincidentally, that one also includes a picture of a pretty Saluki dog, which pleases me personally.) So sad that the days of being able to buy books like these from stores like Bradlees are gone!
