When Great-aunt Betty sends Archie a sewing machine, he makes his little dog a coat; soon he's in great demand for his stylish creations--for dogs, and then their owners, too. Just as he's contemplating a vacation, the queen herself calls. Offbeat (pets and owners alike are depicted as canines) but nicely paced, with attractive, loose watercolor illustrations, this almost-wordless picture book celebrates both fashion and creativity.
