This document summarizes and compares information about three children's books: The Little Princess – I want a Friend, Dr Dog, and Hairy Maclary. The Little Princess uses hand drawn images in pen and watercolors with simple text in a child-friendly font. Dr Dog uses dull colored drawings to depict misbehaving characters and uses brighter colors to draw attention. Hairy Maclary adds detail to the dogs' fur to make the drawings more realistic and pairs each image with a facing page of simple text for easy reading.
