Pierre Pratt.
In this meandering tale, dog Dumpling has no sense of smell, which makes it hard for her to relate to the things dogs like. When her family moves to the country, Dumpling strikes up her first friendship--with a skunk--not aware of the stinky results. Pratt's bright paintings capture Dumpling's moods as well as the reactions of her patient and loving family.
