Illustrated by
Stephanie Buscema.
In this four-legged walk through the alphabet, retro cartoon-style illustrations show a variety of dogs with names that reflect their personality, behavior, or appearance. For A there's Aspen, a yellow Lab that plays in leaves from aspen trees; Z is for Zipper, a Dutch Smoushond who zips around. The short poems occasionally lose track of rhythm, but young dog lovers won't mind.
