Diogenes

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Michael Chesworth. In this humorous take on the life of the ancient Greek philosopher, Diogenes the Cynic is portrayed as an actual dog (cynic means doglike). He travels to Athens and teaches the populace by performing "tricks," which illustrate his philosophies. Lighthearted cartoon illustrations reflect the story's tone; an afterword includes factual information about Diogenes's life and school of thought.
