OLDER FICTION
Vincent, Gabrielle

a day, a dog

(1) YA The opening scenes of this wordless picture book (a dog is hurled from a car; on the facing page, he tries desperately to catch up as it accelerates) are rendered even more wrenching by the artist's spare drafting. With a few gaunt lines, Vincent captures the essentials of the dog's journey; there are no details to distract from the drama that occurs in these freely rendered sketches. This extraordinary book holds meaning far beyond its eloquent message about the cruelty of abandoning pets.
