Sassafras: The True Confessions of a Poodle Princess

32 pp. | Price Stern | September, 2006 | Trade ISBN 0-8431-2125-4 $15.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Dena Fishbein. Poodle Sassafras narrates her life story, which takes her from rags (homelessness) to riches (an animal-rescue worker discovers that she's a rare breed) to rags (she becomes so conceited that her wealthy new owner kicks her out) to riches (of the emotional sort). While the tale's arc is formulaic, the muttered wisecracks and winkingly over-the-top art offer a giddy ride.
