The children's laureate notso hotso

Why do bad things happen to good dogs? It's a dog's life for Anthony. Not only is he lacking the respect he deserves from the neighborhood dogs and cats, but an skin condition has him frantic and frazzled. And just when Anthony thinks things can't get worse, he finds himself on vet's table. What she has in mind for him involves an electric hair trimmer and is likely to cut away any shred of street credibility he has left. Accented with antic illustrations, this wickedly funny fable about embarrassment will have young readers flinching and laughing out loud at the same time.
