3 starred reviews! Bestselling cartoonist and master visual storyteller Harry Bliss has concocted a delightful, near wordless graphic picture book with nods to famous cartoons, cultural icons, and the secret lives that creative people make for themselves. Grace is the quiet girl in the class. And Gus is the class guinea pig. Grace knows that Gus is lonely, and so she sets off one night to help out her furry friend. Wherever she goes, Grace amazes and delights as she shares her many talents, showing how one person with a little pizzazz can make a difference. Praise for Grace for Gus: “Grace for Gus is so rich in smart sight gags, subtle cartoon homages, and clever visual references.” —Alison Bechdel, cartoonist and author of the Eisner Award–winning Fun Home “He had me at Guinea Pig!” —Jamie Lee Curtis, actress and New York Times bestselling author of Today I Feel Silly & Other Moods That Make My Day “In his usual brilliant way, Harry Bliss brings humor and detail (details, details, details) to every panel. Linger on every panel as long as you can—there’s something for everyone.” —Doreen Cronin, author of Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type

Suivez le chien Billy qui se prépare pour aller à l''école. Devrait-il porter son collier rouge ou bleu? Ils sont tellement à la mode! Sera-t-il en retard? Cet écureuil est si distrayant! Et qu''est-il arrivé aux devoirs? Billy les a-t-il vraiment mangés? Après tout, c''est ce que font les chiens non? Dans ce nouvel album de l''illustrateur primé Harry Bliss, l''école s''avère être un endroit où Billy peut faire toutes sortes d''activités qu''il adore : lire, rapporter des objets, peinturer, creuser, chanter et même se faire des amis! Follow Billy the dog as he gets ready and goes to school. Should he wear the red or blue collar? Both are so fashionable! Will he be late? That squirrel is a distraction! And what about Billy''s homework? Would you believe he ate it? That is what dogs do, after all. In this funny new book from the bestselling children''s illustrator Harry Bliss, school proves to be an unexpected place for Billy to do all sorts of things he loves: reading, fetching, painting, digging, singing -- and making friends! Original title: Bailey

Bailey is very excited about the school trip to the Museum of Natural History. After all, he loves to dig up bones even more than an archaeologist! Bailey''s classmates never know what will happen next; maybe that''s why the museum guard becomes Bailey''s special partner.

Although he is a dog, Bailey goes to school, where his canine abilities enliven an ordinary day.

A young boy''s fascination with pigeons soon erupts into a full-blown chase around Central Park, across the Brooklyn Bridge, through a fancy restaurant, and into the sky.

Welcome to the world of Harry Bliss--a New York Times bestselling cartoonist whose gag cartoons look at the world in a fresh, twisted, and unique way. Each panel is a sharp and smart look at the paradoxes of life, ranging from lust and love to misfortune and bitterness. Bliss''s cartoons expose truths so human, so real, they''re timeless. However, time is running out in Death by Laughter--a collection of cartoons about death, fatality, and "the examined life" that Socrates referred to (only his gags weren''t illustrated or, frankly, all that funny). Sheer Bliss.
