The Smell of Wet Dog: And Other Dog Poems and Drawings
Barney Saltzberg, illustrated by Barney Saltzberg
This illustrated collection contains twenty-eight poems about dogs, followed by an appearance from a cat. The poems explore everyday canine life and what it may feel like to be a dog, including the challenge of sitting still or staying on command. Their forms vary in rhyme, rhythm, and style, moving between playful moments and more bittersweet ones. Spot illustrations depict a range of slightly comic dogs throughout the book.
