Description

A doggy art book, an arty dog book, and a crowd-pleasing picture book for all ages, At the Dog Park features the real-life hounds of Western Australia, including those of local authors Dianne Wolfer and James Foley as well as some of Fremantle Press's very own pooches.

In lively rhyming prose, Moira Court captures all the fun and diversity of the dog park - This dog is loud, this one is quiet. This dog is tiny, this one's a giant. Each illustration is created using layered woodblock prints, screen-printing and collage. Children will love identifying their favourite dog breeds and what dogs they have seen at the park while learning about opposites.
