About the Author:
Audrey Wood has been writing award-winning children's books for more than thirty years, and she is a fourth-generation artist. She often collaborates with her husband, Caldecott Honor illustrator Don Wood (THE NAPPING HOUSE; KING BIDGOOD'S IN THE BATHTUB; IT'S DUFFY TIME!), and she created many bestselling books with their son, Bruce Wood (ALPHABET MYSTERY; TEN LITTLE FISH). Audrey has illustrated numerous popular books herself, including SILLY SALLY, A DOG NEEDS A BONE, and BLUE SKY (2012). She lives with her husband in Hawaii, under the blue sky, rain sky, and changing-all-day sky.
From School Library Journal:
PreSchool-Grade 1—With good humor, Wood offers a rhyming text in which a pooch begs his mistress for a bone, making all sorts of exaggerated promises, such as, "I'll answer your phone. I'll treat you like a queen on a throne." When the woman leaves in her car, the pup feels abandoned and gets into an incredible amount of mischief. Then, in a teasing mood, she returns and finally makes the dog's day. Jovial, cartoonlike illustrations, drawn using crayons on brown paper bags, create a comfortable, homelike atmosphere and perfectly capture the animal's antics and expressions. Endpapers pick up the bone motif. The large text and the simple vocabulary make this a picture book that young readers can manage on their own. Filled with child appeal, it's sure to be a winner.—Blair Christolon, Prince William Public Library System, Manassas, VA
