Description

Claudia Schmids drawings meet Matt Harveys words in this affectionate look at dogs and their humans. Sit! is an entertaining, occasionally surreal, but mostly down to earth celebration of the strange, satisfying relationship between dog and human. Funny, eccentric, poignant, questionable and a bit weird this book will appeal to all these sorts of people.

His books include The Hole in the Sum of My Parts, Where Earwigs Dare, Mindless Body Spineless Mind and The Element in the Room. His musicals include Rumpelstiltskin.
