Illustrated by
Paul Meisel.
A series of poems tells the story of Stella, a newly adopted dog. Each poem reports from the pooch's point of view, and Stella has quite a sassy sense of humor: "But, really, friend, / do you intend / to feed me only kibble?" Acrylic, gouache, and pencil illustrations add another waggish layer to the dog's tale, showcasing the lively, loving mutt.
