Illustrated by
Julia Gorton.
A high-spirited boy describes his dog, and it's clear he loves his pet. With every illustrative word he adds to the cumulative portrayal, the boy includes superlatives for emphasis: "He's the most slobbery dog I've ever met!" Though the text doesn't amount to much more than a list, the tone of the book is upbeat and endearing, and the airbrushed acrylic artwork exudes retro charm.
