Illustrated by
Chris Appelhans.
A greyhound and groundhog frolic playfully in this wonderfully illustrated, lyrical tongue-twister of a picture book. "A round hound, a grey dog, a round little hound dog. / A greyhog, a ground dog, a hog little hound dog." The words are as spare as the pencil and watercolor brushstrokes, and both--like the delightful butterflies the animals encounter--are quietly astounding.
