Vincent van Dog and Henri T. LaPooch are two very different dogs. When Henri visits Vincent in the country, he finds it a little too slow for his taste. And when Vincent travels to the city to visit Henri, the noise and bustle overwhelm him. It looks as if their friendship is doomed-until the two agree to meet at the beach. Peppered with French phrases with translations and including reproductions of familiar postimpressionist paintings, this bright, humorous book borrows from the lives of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Vincent van Gogh for a thoroughly original spin on an Aesop's fable.
