One of my writer friends who lives in Canada recommended the What-a-Mess books for my five-year-old son. When I saw that the books were based on an English television series, I was both apprehensive and intrigued. I bought a book, anyway.
What-a-Mess is an Afghan hound. The only time I've seen Afghan hounds as pet dogs was when I lived in England. Afghan hounds are one of the oldest breeds of dogs, and they tend to be very dignified, and, occasionally, clownish. What-a-Mess' mother is very dignified...
The illustrations are hilarious, starting with the end-papers. And it is not often I read a children's book with the word "pong" in it.
