About
the Book
Vincent van Dog and Henri T. LaPooch are two very
different dogs. When Henri visits Vincent in the country, he finds it a little
too slow for his taste. And when Vincent travels to the city to visit Henri, the
noise and bustle overwhelm him. It looks as if their friendship is
doomed—until the two agree to meet at the beach. Peppered with French
phrases with translations and including reproductions of familiar
postimpressionist paintings, this bright, humorous book borrows from the lives
of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Vincent van Gogh for a thoroughly original spin
on an Aesop’s fable.
