Summary
Never Cry Woof! : A Dog-U-Drama
Jane Wattenberg's sly revival of Aesop's fable proves that you CAN teach an old dog new tricks. "Do you brag? Do you boast? Think you're hot, buttered toast? Have you ever told a whopper? A glib fib? A lie?" Unruly Bix and the honorable Hunky-Dory have jobs tending sheep. A growl a day keeps the wolves away, but when a prankster cries "WOOF!", his fellow herders have a bone to pick with him. Will he get away with clean paws, or wind up in the doghouse? Jane Wattenberg is at her wacky best in text filled with fetching puns, sublime rhyme, and rockin' rhythm--and a bold new version of her trademark photo-compositions.
