Once I Ate a Pie
by Patricia MacLachlan and Emily MacLachlan Charest
illustrated by Katy Schneider
Just yesterday I came across this book. When I first saw the cover, I immediately fell in love with the beautiful illustration! That little pug is adorable and the style of painting is warm and attractive. Next I did a quick flip through the pages and before reading anything, I knew I wanted it- simply for the pictures! Of course, my next objective was to actually read it and I really enjoyed the poems. The book captures small moments in the life of a variety of dogs. They are entertaining and tug at the heartstrings.
Synopsis:
Every dog has a tail to wag. . .and a tale to tell. The authors asked a collection of canines to speak up — and so they do, in words, barks, and yips. Captured here are accounts of happy days filled with squeaky toys, good smells, plenty of naps and the very important jobs they do for the people they love to love.
