The World According to Dog: Poems and Teen Voices

Funny, comforting, surprising, the words in this book explore our lives with dogs: dogs who befriend us; dogs who annoy, perplex, and accept us.

Teens speak for themselves in honest and forthright essays while Joyce Sidmans insightful poems further express the bond between dog and teen: how days of crowded hallways, pointless assignments, and blinding crushes are brought to balance by our dogs.

For as Doug Mindells winning photographs confirm, at the end of the day, waiting at home, there is always Dogfull of hope and companionship.
