The World According to Dog: Poems and Teen Voices

Dogs are popular pets. The poems in this book explore our lives with dogs, including the funny, surprising, and comforting things they do. Although the major focus of this book is poetry by Joyce Sidman, it also includes short essays by teens who describe the dogs in their lives. The book is illustrated with photos by Doug Mindell, and was a finalist for the Minnesota Book Award in 2004.
