Petropolis
When your pets are home alone, are you sure they're really there? Really? Put yourself in the position of a beloved pet whose family has just installed a new pet door to the backyard. But instead of the backyard, there's a teeming city populated entirely by pets. The stores, restaurants, and theaters, the public transportation, the museums, parks, and municipal services are run by a huge assortment of well-dressed cats, dogs, rabbits, mice, hamsters, guinea pigs, ferrets, turtles, fish, and parrots. It is wonderful, but all too soon, it is time to go home. There is one very large problem -- how do you get there? In myriad, strikingly detailed and richly hued illustrations, sister-and-brother team Susanne Santoro Whayne and Christopher Santoro present a highly original, good- humored parallel universe for all young readers to visit, explore, enjoy, and then revisit.

Ages 4-8 will find Petropolis an engaging picturebook story, with its drawings by Christopher Santoro supplementing the story of what pets do when their owners are away for the day. A magical pet door opens upon a vibrant city rather than a suburban backyard, inviting Max to explore a city populated entirely by pets. But how can Max get back home?
