Dogs and Doggerel

Barbara Blackman unleashes her subversive sense of humour in this unusual collection of verse about the dog in our language and our lives.

Whimsical sketches by artist Cheryl Westenberg bring this collection to life. Not necessarily for children Barbara says, but dog loathers and lovers will recognise themselves and their canines in this unusual new book. Gleeful, gloomy, mischievous and manic, our canine friends often mirror our moods.
