The Other Dog
8-1/2 x 11-1/4 in; 48 pp ; full color throughout, ages 4-8 $6.95 The Other Dog -- Touche L'Engle-Franklin is confused: Her mistress goes away for several days—and then returns with another dog. But this dog doesn't have a tail. She doesn't have much hair. And she never has to go outside when it's raining. What on earth could the family want with that inferior breed known as Baby? Based on the true tale of her own poodle's experience coping with a new baby in the house, Newbery-winning author Madeleine L'Engle gives this familiar domestic drama an utterly charming new twist. Tongue-in-cheek wit, endearing illustrations, and a revealing author's note make this a publishing event to celebrate.
Christine Davenier has illustrated a number of children's books, including The Other Dog, Mabel Dancing, and Very Best (Almost) Friends: Poems of Friendship. She lives in Paris, France.
