Rupert Can Dance

When George can’t bark like most puppies, his mother takes him to the vet who also tells George to “bark!” An exhausted doctor literally pulls out the reasons George “meows” and more with funny and surprising results. Spare, comic line drawings add to the silliness.

No one will help look for Bearsy. Mom’s too busy. Dad’s reading, and sister’s grumpy. But when Jules Feiffer’s spunky heroine strikes out on her own to find her favorite stuffed toy, she discovers much more than anyone ever expected!

Absorbed in his book, a child ignores his mother’s persistent calls, creating his own outrageous, imaginative adventures with the use of the word “meanwhile…” Wit and ingenuity abound in text and illustration until the boy’s adventures — and the book — conclude.
