Fans of Ladybug magazine will be happy to learn that the comic strip stories of Mop the dog and his redheaded twin owners, Julie and Justin, can be checked out of your local library. Schapp and de Wolf, a husband-and-wife team, create silly and simple stories with cheery and fun watercolor illustrations, just right for young children.

The first cartoon begins with Mop joining the family. The cartoons that follow range from Julie and Justin performing a puppet show with Mop to Mop’s snores scaring Julie and Justin’s cousin. Cartoons can sometimes be hard to read aloud, but my children have always enjoyed hearing the adventures of Mop and the twins.

Ages 2-6
