About the Author:
From School Library Journal:
Patricia MacLachlan is the celebrated author of many beloved books for young readers, including Sarah, Plain and Tall, winner of the Newbery Medal, and her most recent novel, Word After Word After Word. Her picture books include Who Loves Me?, Three Names, What You Know First, and All the Places to Love. She lives with her husband and two border terriers in Williamsburg, Massachusetts.
PreS-Gr 3–Distinct puppy personalities shine through in 14 poems. As in the companion Once I Ate a Pie (HarperCollins, 2006), the free verses are told from each dog's point of view. A small terrier objects to his owner's “Rules” and offers up his own code of conduct: “Drooling is good....Get muddy. Be happy. Howl!” A black Labrador retriever with woebegone eyes staring straight at readers sits in a bathtub and itemizes “What I Don't Like.” The list includes “My food/I like yours better./The mailman/Every single day he comes!” Schneider's striking oil paintings not only capture the impulsive and impetuous nature of pups, but also show such tender moments as newborns, “Born in the soft overcoat quiet of someone's closet,” nestled together. An irresistible treat for animal lovers.Linda Ludke, London Public Library, Ontario, Canada
