"He looked like a wolf and like to scare people by growling" and 12 more dog tales by Susan Baker (Artist's Book Series V)

Baker's great, blocky images of thirteen dogs accompanied by micro-stories that tell dog's tales is a charming example of an artist's book that seems simple at first, but when examined more closely has a deeper impact.

An example of one of the stories: 

Johnny Low-Down

"Johnny Low-Down was a street dog. He was built low to the ground so he could hide under cars when the dogcatcher chased him. He was a living legend."
