Fans of man's best friend, prepare to drool! This jubilant celebration of the irrepressible canine spirit pairs Michael Rosen's eloquent and evocative haikus about twenty different breeds (the example above describes a Pembroke Welsh Corgi) with Mary Azarian's vibrant wood-cut depictions of each adorable pooch. A beagle barks in his dreams, a bloodhound searches for a scent, a golden retriever takes a happy dip, a dachshund makes a nest in his owner's clothes--no matter your breed of preference, these visual and poetic tributes are sure to make you smile. You'll find notes about the lovable quirks of each featured canine at the end. What a treat for dog lovers ages 6 and up, up, up!
