Why read it?
1 author picked A Day, a Dog as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
A book begs you to sit up and take notice when Maurice Sendak writes this cover blurb: âAstonishing drawings!...An entirely unique work of art.â This wordless picture book with remarkable charcoal sketches shows the heartwrenching abandonment of a dog and shocking aftermath. Does the open-ended finale offer a flicker of hope for our canine hero? You decide. No dialogue needed, but this book is sure to spur conversations with young animal lovers (keep tissues handy).
From Nancy's list on rescued dogs.
