Stella's got an opinion on everything: the baby ("cannot be trusted near tail"), her humans, the other pets, her sleeping requirements ("But for a truly peaceful rest, be advised: Your bed is best"), undignified doggie sweaters, and the dull dryness of kibble. She even waxes poetic on the exalted status of pups in Paris, who are welcome everywhere...even in restaurants. And thanks to author Linda Ashman, who practically channels the canine mind, Stella expresses it all in a series of humorous verses that will have dog-loving kids laughing out loud. Add Paul Meisel's fabulous illustrations, which convey every facet of Stella's winning, wonderful, and wickedly funny personality, and who could resist?
