    The Other Dog

    Touche L'Engle-Franklin is confused: Her mistress goes away for several daysand 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.

    From the dog's point of view

    10/11/11| Carolyn DeMoss
    Madeline L'Engle's gentle and wise text is a perfect way to bring baby and pooch together. The Author's Note at the end is a so so sweet glimpse into her dog-loving heart.
