<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In this hilarious and heartwarming companion to the Geisel Honor-winning picture book <i>Ball</i>, there's a new dog in town and he doesn't want to play ball, he wants a TREAT.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>As the old saying goes, "Give a dog a ball, and he'll beg to play for days. But give a dog a treat, and he'll never stop begging." <br> In this companion to Mary Sullivan's Geisel Award-winning <i>Ball</i>, there's a new dog in town and he is focused on finding a treat, no matter the cost. But endless tricks and futile searching (you can't eat Grandma's dentures!) can be pretty exhausting. Just when he's about to give up hope . . . what's this? TREAT! <br> In this hilarious and heartwarming graphic novel/ picture book hybrid, readers will rejoice and laugh as they recognize the silly, but always determined, behavior of man's best friend.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>* Sullivan spins a hilarious minidrama around a hyperactive canine and a single word of text...Cartoonlike illustrations, precisely drawn in digitally colored pencil, perfectly capture the portly, perky-eared, wide-eyed canine's treat mania." <br><i>--</i><b><i>Kirkus</i></b>, STARRED review <p/> * "Sullivan has created quite a treat herself: a canine hero with a one-track mind and an endlessly expressive one-word vocabulary (aided by comically frenetic typography) whose approach to thwarted desire is, as any child will recognize, all too human." <br><i>--</i><b><i>Publishers Weekly</i></b>, STARRED review <p/> "Sullivan's digitally colored pencil illustrations are packed with imagination, energy, and humor, and the dog's many emotions are captured particularly well. Kids will eat up this over-the-top ode to snacks." <br><i>--</i><b><i>Booklist <p/> "</i></b>This is a welcome addition to the series and any collection." <br><b><i>--</i> School Library Journal</b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Mary Sullivan</b> received a BFA from the University of Texas at Austin, and has shown her work in galleries and coffee shops in Dallas and Austin.
