“Say Hello to Zorro!” by Carter Goodrich: Simon & Schuster
One of the things you’ll learn by reading this column is that I love picture books. Sure, they’re wonderful for little ones, but you know what? They’re pretty darn great for adults, too.
If I’ve had a bad day, I often find that reading a picture book is more therapeutic than most adult titles.
And one of my favorite new titles is “Say Hello to Zorro!” by Carter Goodrich. In this charming tale, Goodrich shows that change is hard for everyone.
Whether it’s adjusting to a new job, a new school or a new puppy, disruptions in routines can make even the most flexible of us a bit cranky. Take Bud, for instance. He’s a dog with a very strict schedule — and that makes him very happy.
