Lois Ehlert skillfully captures both the personality and appearance of a host of dogs in a playful, visually dynamic picture book. Ehlert uses color, texture, and line to marvelous effect, creating a parade of pooches and their owners at a farmer market and dog park. Her vibrant hues and varied edges pop against solid green pages. The dogs exchange comments in a sparse, rhyming text, but the dialogue is secondary to the arresting display of canine companions, each of which appears in a brief biographical portrait at the book’s end. (Ages 3–6)

In this exuberant new picture book, Lois Ehlert takes us on a trip to the farmers market with a group of friendly, furry, and (mostly) well-behaved pups. And when the shopping's done, the gang heads to the dog park for some serious playing.

Readers will be wowed by the gorgeous collage illustrations, subtle counting elements, jaunty text, and--best of all--dogs galore

Includes a spread that features pictures, names, and traits of all the dogs, so children can go back and follow their favorites throughout the story.
