Illustrated by
Michael Wertz.
As in A Curious Collection of Cats, Franco's concrete poems celebrate animals complete with lovable quirks and downright silliness. Wertz's stylish digital illustrations pop with color and capture the personality of each dog variety, from pug to maltipoo. The combination of funny poems and goofy dogs makes for a great gift book--and a sneaky way to inject poetry into someone's life.
