Top Dog: And Other Doggone Delightful Expressions

32 pp. | Chronicle | October, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4521-5134-2 $15.99
(4) K-3 On each spread, a dog-related idiom, simile, or metaphor appears in an elegant, bold font alongside a photograph of a canine, alternately goofy or earnest, enacting the expression. Unfortunately, the poses (e.g., a Great Dane drinking from the toilet for "dirty dog") do little to cue meaning. Dog lovers may forgive that the appendix identifies the dogs instead of explaining the phrases.
