I may favor vintage children's books but I'm always discovering new author/illustrators and adding them to my library. I just got this fun book in the mail as a surprise from my friend, Margaux! Since we both got puppies for the first time several years ago, we've realized that we've become "dog lovers!" She knew I would like the clever title and how Doug Salati draws all the facial expressions and mannerisms of a little dachshund.
Hot Dog
Doug Salati 2022
(Molly graciously posed for me.)
When it's too hot and crowded in the city, a dog has had enough! So his owner takes him out for a day at the beach where he gets to romp and be refreshed. Salati's spare text reads like a poem and his pictures capture the noisy city chaos giving way to a breezy beach.
