From award-winning author/illustrator Frann Preston Gannon comes this celebration of wiener dogs (dachshunds) in all their variety--perfect for dog-lovers of every age!
Simple rhyming text and boldly graphic, funny illustrations show off the comically lovable proportions of the dachshund, with its short legs and long body, spirited nature, and cheerful temperament. Author Frann Preston Gannon reveals a surprising variety of wiener dog looks and shows kids all the fun these little dogs have as they visit the beach, cavort in the snow, dig in the garden, jump to the ceiling, and even ride a skateboard--all the while giving a lesson in opposites.
• Richly colored, textured illustrations with lots of elements and funny things for kids to spot, from "hidden" bones to muddy footprints
• Rhyming text makes this a great read-aloud
• Ends with a bedtime moment, very appealing to parents
• Dachshunds are extremely popular; in fact, this breed is currently the 9th most popular in the US, according to the American Kennel Club

Giggles Abound
By Sarah
Maybe its the way my husband reads this book, but this story leaves my daughter in stitches from all the laughter. She wants to read it again and again and again! The board book is large and hefty with glossy pages, big text, and charming illustrations of some very clever and funny puppies.

WONDERFUL!!!! I was looking for a new board book for my 15-month old grandson. He loves Brown Bear, Brown Bear and Polar Bear, Polar Bear, and other similar books. The illustrations are wonderful - very funny! Also, it is a large-format book which is a nice change from the smaller board books. Great fun to read aloud! Highly recommend.

This book is so cute! I bought it for my grandchildren and they have really enjoyed the story and the pictures. We have a precious long haired dachshund so of course we loved this children's book!
