The little dog Zorro, first introduced along with his canine companion Mister Bud in Say Hello to Zorro! (Simon & Schuster, 2011), is given a cloak, complete with a mask-like hood, by his human owner. At first he’s humiliated, and indeed, other dogs and a cat find it hilarious. Even Mister Bud’s efforts to cheer Zorro fail. But then Zorro has an encounter with a new dog at the park. Dart not only does amazing stunts with a frisbee but also wears a dashing outfit of his own, giving Zorro a new perspective on the possibilities of his attire in Carter Goodrich’s entertaining picture book. (Ages 3–7)

Fashion goes to the dogs in this lovable follow-up to Say Hello to Zorro!

Mister Bud and Zorro get along just great. They wake up together, have walk time together, and take naps together. But something is about to interrupt their schedule: Zorro has to wear a fancy outfit.
Zorro is embarassed, mortified, aghast. Mr. Bud tries to cheer him up, but nothing works. Everyone makes fun of Zorro, and he refuses to participate in chew-on-a-stick time. Mister Bud doesn’t know what to do.
But when another dog—a very cool dog—shows up in an outfit and does amazing tricks and beats all the other dogs in a race, Zorro discovers that wearing clothes might not be so bad after all.
Everything is back on schedule.
