Carmen Saldaña.
"This is Doug. He has lost his dog. Poor Doug!" Simple text asks the reader to help find the missing canine. A series of characteristics (scruffy, spotted, small, etc.) narrows the possible pooches down to one--with a twist. Press Here–style invitations ("Give the spotted dogs a pat!"), cuddly-looking illustrations, and well-conceived design add to the appeal.
