A tale in haiku
of one adorable dog.
Let's find him a home.
'There on the back steps,
The eyes of a hungry dog.
Will she shut the door?'
Wandering through the neighbourhood in the early-morning hours, a stray pooch follows his nose to a back porch door. After a bath and some table scraps from Mum, the dog meets three lovable kids.
'Morning brings children.
Hugs, licks, barking, and laughing.
Warmer than sunshine.'
It's all wags and wiggles until Dad has to decide if this stray pup can become the new family pet. Has Mooch finally found a home?
'Family meeting.
There are words and words and words.
Did someone say "pound"?'
Told entirely in haiku by master storyteller, Andrew Clements, this delightful book is a clever fusion of poetry and puppy dog.
Ages: 4-8
