Chip the dog from Don’t Eat Bees is back with more “wisdom” to share, including some hard-won life lessons about cats. Chip advises that there are plenty of things we can trust but don’t trust cats: “Nohow, no meow.”  Boldt’s adorable wide-eyed pooch with a massive nose who enthusiastically rolls in muck, shreds the mail as it drops through a slot, and bounds up to a porcupine and then a skunk in expectation of meeting new friends will delight preschoolers. The comedy is implied rather than direct so probably best read as a lap book so you can discuss why it is funny. A sly-looking gray cat and an olive-skinned human family add comical background reactions to this hilarious canine.
