It's the end of the 80s!
The decade of my elementary and junior high years.
Books including illustrations with the number 5: 2! The Song and Dance Man (Winner 1989) and The Relatives Came (Honor 1986). Both illustrated by Minnesotan Stephen Gammell. We may have a number connection as well as a location connection!

The Cupcake's favorite (my 3 yr old): Mufaro's Beautiful Daughters - as soon as we finished reading she was pretending to be Nyasha.
Title I remember reading in the 80s: King Bidgood's in the Bathtub - I would have been in 6th or 7th grade when this first came out, but my little sister would have been about 4. So I think that is why I would have read it at the time. I still love the totally absurd humor! Love the secrets of the illustrations too.
Number of books including cats in the illustrations: Only 2 this time - Goldilocks and the Three Bears & Mirandy and Brother Wind (unless you count the lion from Alphabatics).
Number of books including a Bull Terrier: Just The Polar Express, but he's extra special.
