Thank you all very much for the feedback. Here is a work in progress on my next spread. Thinking I need to add the kitty to the first spread somewhere. 
It's looking great! I am intrigued by the story and I want to know what happens next! I really like the simplicity of your first spread, and the directness of the pig talking to camera alone... if you added the cat it might dilute that. If you did really want to, you could have the cat on his lap, and he's stroking it like an evil villain. (But that would cover up your nice drawing of the pig which would be a shame). I suppose you could have the cat peeking out from behind the chair. (But I still like it as it is).
Also, if you are turning this into an actual book/product, then the customer will look at the cover, the end pages and often there are illustrations on the inside title page too...so depending on how you create those, the customer might have already seen Mr. Whiskers before they get to the second spread.
@evilrobot So cute they are, sleeping 
I would be careful to place text over the details in the image, though - I think it would be a more balanced spread with text in the upper left part of the spread 
Thanks for the feedback;) The text is just there so I can get an idea of how much room I need to leave for it. It will more than likely go on the same page below the window. I'll format it to fit once I get my drawing finalized. I may make the pig and kitty bigger to fill the page better or put something over in that corner of the room at the top a nightstand or something.
@evilrobot Ha Ha! I love it. I want to hear the rest of the story!
Well here is that spread finished. I really need to design better for the text. As Camomilla had warned. I ended up having to reverse it and add a drop shadow so it would read. May have to go back and darken up the first spread a little to match it better to this one. 
Another finished spread. 
Wolf character sketch
In my first take on this the characters where going to be human but it came off too perverted with a man biting a kids butt....so I went with the animals and now I think it works and comes off funny instead of sick. Here were my first take on the human characters. 
It is really nice to see this evolve, and the story looks fun. Wolf and pig are of course perfect for this! I agree humans would not have worked at all 
Are you going to stick with the monochrome or it is just a first step? Monochrome may be problematic with kids (experience tells...).
Started working on this again. Here are my characters in color. 
Here's some more progress on this. Finished spread for page #1-2 and completed new line work for spread #3-4. Feel like I'm spamming the site. But I got a lot done. Have the three day weekend and it's been great to have some time to work on my artwork. 
@evilrobot I love this look with the lines, you capture enough detail and the beauty of your lines shine through. I think you should do some pages in this style if not the whole book!
I will buy this book!
@evilrobot just noticed that your chest of drawers with the robot toy on it is not in 3d like the rest of your room... take it out or fix it... not really needed...
Finished this but didn't come out as nice as I would have wanted. Will probably scrap it and start over on the color.
@evilrobot I don't think you need to scrape it. What do not like about the color?
Get this book written and painted, I want to buy it!
