This Is Gus by Chris Chatterton


Meet Gus. He doesn't like anything or anyone. Or does he? 

Thoughts: Grumpy characters are so much fun. I loved Gus from the first. I've always wanted to name a dog Gus after the mouse in Disney's Cinderella. And it looks like Gus might be one of my favorite breeds...a basset hound. The illustrations are colorful and I love Gus's grouchy expressions. My favorite is Gus and the puppy on Gus's birthday. Gus is in good company with Bruce (the Bruce books by Ryan T. Higgins) and Mr. Panda from the books by Steve Antony.  

Themes: Dogs, Grumpy Characters
