This is a reprint of a 1940s title. The identities of the author and illustrator have been lost to time, but these anonymous creators gave us a delightful array of dressed-up dogs engaged in a variety of human pursuits. We have a Scottie tailor assisting a duck friend with a sailor suit. A family of Terriers is most proud of their outfits, which include top hat and tails for Papa Dog and a full kilt and cap for Baby Dog. But even in this gentle tale (or should we say tail?) a little rain must fall - here it takes the form of a tumble into a puddle, and a bit of mocking by an interloping cat. Nevertheless, all's well that ends well, and nothing can stop these dapper doggies from exuding charm and class on every page.
This book is a charming oddity that's sure to be enjoyed by children or lovers of vintage illustration. The Doggy Book is surely the only of its kind.
