Bogart and Vinnie: A Completely Made-Up Story of True Friendship

32 pp. | Walker | June, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8027-2822-7 $16.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Henry Cole. Lost yet unflappably happy pup Vinnie forms a friendship with Bogart, an indifferent-bordering-on-irritated rhinoceros in a nature preserve. Media attention to their interspecies relationship reunites Vinnie with his human family who, unwilling to break them up, take both dog and rhino home. Though young audiences may miss the intended satire, humorous speech bubbles and expressive illustrations are enjoyable enough.
