Nancy L. Reed has had many dogs in her lifetime and she wanted to celebrate every one of them with poems and songs dedicated to the joy they gave her. This is the origin for Dog-grr-el: canine cadence, hound haiku, puppy poetry. With original poems, haikus, songs written by Reed, and colorful illustrations by Jennifer Schafer, Dog-grr-el appeals to all family members, including pets. Well, maybe not cats.
Poems and haikus feature cave-dwelling dogs, canine coat of arms, howling hounds, and a tribute to the fire hydrant. A march and several musical numbers round out the joyful book. Dog-grr-el: canine cadence, hound haiku, puppy poetry is an excellent edition to any library and a great gift for dog lovers everywhere.
