Henry doesn't think anyone appreciates his unusual art, but one night everything changes...
Henry is an artist, a master sculptor and . . . a dog. Unfortunately, his self-made pieces, in all their sculptural forms, are often tossed in the bin without even being noticed! But Henry never gives up on his art until, one day, an unexpected somebody finally falls in love with his work and at last Henry has his moment to shine.
A funny scatological debut * The Bookseller, Buyer's Guide *
Has more depth than many of the poo-themed picture books available * The Bookseller *
An offbeat fable about creativity, poo, and beauty being in the eye of the beholder. * CLPE *
Scatological humor and eye-catching images make for a delightfully oddball tale * Kirkus *
