About:

The Smell of Wet Dog: And Other Dog Poems and Drawings (Nov 2024, Easy Reading Plus)

Beloved author and illustrator Barney Saltzberg offers up twenty-seven poems on the evergreen topic of human’s best friend. Many have all the humor of a Shel Silverstein classic. Others are unexpectedly poignant, about shelter dogs waiting for adoption, or older dogs growing less spry. All are accompanied by Saltzberg’s lively and loveable artwork. One thing’s for sure: You’ll leave this book inspired to write an ode to a furry friend of your own!

Trouble Dog: From Shelter Dog to Conservation Hero (Mar 2025, Nonfiction Early Elementary)

Tucker the dog never means to be trouble: he just loves to play. But at the animal shelter, every visitor says he’s too much trouble—until Laura. Laura thinks Tucker might be just right for a very special job. Could all his energy make him an amazing conservation dog? Laura trains Tucker to track down Gila monsters, endangered flowers, even grizzly bear poop. His first assignment is in Hawaii, searching for invasive rosy wolf snails hidden under leaves. Where will his nose lead him next?
