A Lucky Author Has a Dog

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Steven Henry. Told mostly from the dog's point of view, this story shows the daily life of an author in the city. Activities include writing and visiting a school, all shown in clear, appealing illustrations. The text's occasional attempts to describe creativity and inspiration fall curiously flat, with more of an adult sensibility, but young readers will get a sense of the process.
