Once I Ate a Pie, by Patricia MacLachlan & Emily MacLachlan Charest

"13 Dogs Tell All!" in humorous poems accompanied by doggie paintings. The use of different font sizes and text placement are part of the visual delight of these poetic offerings. With names like "Mr. Beefy" and "Wupsie", the dogs have distinct personalities captured in text and illustration.

Although I don't much care for the name given to the shar-pei, I love this book. The poems are absolutely true to dog psychology and what-passes-for-thought. Every bit as wonderful as Small Dog Poems.
