MONDAY: Secret Agent Splat by Rob Scotton

Summary
Splat's dad makes ducks. Splat knows (and names) each and every one. One day he notices a duck is missing. The next day, that duck is back (without its beak) and another is missing. Splat tunes into his favorite TV show about a secret agent cat and Secret Agent Splat is born. Splat tracks down the culprit, but it's not who he thinks it is.

Review
Super cute story! I am a Splat fan in the first place, but when I saw there was going to be a mystery-themed story, I had to read it. The illustrations are colorful and snuggly-looking, full of great details and little jokes. There's even a duck code on the back cover.

4 out of 5 stars

MONDAY - Russell the Sheep

Russell the sheep can't sleep. He and his little frog friend try all sorts of things to help him sleep - the "really dark" (which scares Russell), a change of scenery, and counting things (like his feet - 1, 2, 3, 4 and still not asleep). What will Russell do to finally get some sleep?

The illustrations are probably my favorite part of Russell's books. The sheep are just darling! And kids will love to see what Russell does to finally get some sleep. Check out all of Russell's adventures (and other really cute books by Rob Scotton!)
