Fanny and Blue may not be the smartest dogs, and they may not be the best-behaved dogs, but they are definitely the most-loved dogs.
John Lithgow's bouncy song - in the book and on the accompanying CD - is based on his own family's two dogs. And Robert Neubecker's eye-popping illustrations capture the joy of all things dog.
"This musical ode to two prized pooches packs a crowd-pleasing wallop...Neubecker's large, vibrant paintings perfectly capture the frenetic world of dog ownership...Sure to entice youngsters, this book will find a welcome home in storytime and circulating collections."--School Library Journal
"Neubecker['s] boldly inked, maniacal cartoons capture the full measure of the four-legged joie de vivre."--Publishers Weekly
"Ranging from comically chaotic to tender, this is an entertaining, peppy read with a reassuring sentiment of unconditional love that dog fans and owners will especially appreciate."--Booklist
