The Writer
The Writer
A dog has an important job to do, especially if his human is a writer. Without a dog by his side, the writer would forget to eat. He'd never get out of his pajamas, and he'd probably stare at the computer all day long. But even the best French bulldog can't do everything. Maybe this perfect pair needs someone new in their lives...
Up on Bob
Up on Bob
Bob the dog doesn't mind hard work when it means he can reward himself with a nap. But Someone is watching him sleep! Hopefully they will just go away if Bob lies really still. But Someone, who happens to be a cat, has other things in mind.
Up on Bob is a humorous tale about sharing, working hard--and sleeping even harder. With irresistibly sly illustrations and pitch perfect pet dynamics, Geisel Honor-winning author-illustrator Mary Sullivan tells a sweet tale of friendship with a fresh new spin on the age-old cat-and-dog rivalry.
