A Tall Tale About Dachshunds in Costumes
How MORE Dogs Came to Be
|
A tall tale about dachshunds,
who dress up one day, And want to stay dressed up forever that way! Behold a dear friendship and dreams that come true. Some become other breeds, still their kindness shines through! A troupe of dachshunds plays dress-up in strewn-about vegetation after an autumn storm. Just like young children, they love their new costumes and don’t want to change. Through the power of love and magic, they stay in their costumes and overnight become other dog breeds. A playful story with informational glossaries for the dachshunds, the eight new dog breeds, and vegetation. Dachshunds in Costumes is a creative story that gives a lighthearted explanation for how the different breeds of dogs came to be, and as Jones’ previous books, we see the gift of self-acceptance. Also present is a meter that has a lilting and soothing quality. The meter pairs well with the wonderful illustration work from Scott Ward that has a unique and uniform shading style that readers of all ages will admire. Kizzie Jones’ newest addition is perfect for the curious and inquisitive child who will surely spend hours curled up studying all that A Tall Tale About Dachshunds in Costumes: How MORE Dogs Came to Be has to offer.” --Chanticleer Reviews 2019 |
