Wag a Tail
Description
In this exuberant new picture book, Lois Ehlert takes us on a trip to the farmers market with a group of friendly, furry, and (mostly) well-behaved pups. And when the shopping's done, the gang heads to the dog park for some serious playing. Readers will be wowed by the gorgeous collage illustrations, subtle counting elements, jaunty text, and--best of all--dogs galore! Includes a spread that features pictures, names, and traits of all the dogs, so children can go back and follow their favorites throughout the story.
