A Greyhound, A Groundhog

"Pure joy. That’s the feeling the reader gets from A Greyhound, A Groundhog. Add to that delight and wonder, and it’s everything you want in a picture book. From the moment “A round hound” transforms into a greyhound, you’re hooked. It’s as magical and playful as the titular greyhound, who is beautifully painted in sprite-like watercolors by Chris Appelhans. The plot lies in the play – the rambunctious rompings – of the two animals, as well as in the play of words. Your eye darts and dashes just as the greyhound and groundhog do. Words are fun, this book assures you – as fun as two friends, a greyhound and groundhog, getting into mischievous adventures. (For ages 3 to 7)"
