Mr. and Mrs. Portly and Their Little Dog, Snack

40 pp. | Farrar | September, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-0-374-35089-5 $16.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Christine Davenier. Mrs. Portly finds puppy Snack irresistible, but Mr. Portly likes art, not dogs. Relegated to a backyard doghouse, Snack finally changes Mr. Portly's mind by thwarting an art thief. Children may not relate to this narrative about adults with its predictable dog-stops-burglary resolution, but they'll enjoy the bright, lively illustrations featuring the peppy pup and his antics.
