"But what Emily Jenkins and Chris Appelhans' lyrical collaboration is really about is the intoxicating thrill of friendship, and boundless joy of play..." -The New York Times A "merry read-aloud." -The Wall Street Journal Winner of the 2018 Zena Sutherland Award for Best TextFrom a heavyweight author and illustrator duo comes a delicious tongue twister of a picture book that features a little round greyhound and a little round groundhog. With very spare, incredibly lively language, this is an entertaining read-aloud, with two amazing--and oh-so-adorable--characters at its heart. When a greyhound meets a groundhog, wordplay and crazy antics ensue. The two animals, much like kids, work themselves into a frenzy as they whirl around and around one another. (Around, round hound. Around, groundhog ) The pace picks up (Around and around and astound and astound ), until they ultimately wear themselves out. "Jenkins's masterful text is deceptively simple." --NPR on Toys Meet Snow by Emily Jenkins "Appelhans, whose career up to now has been in animated films such as Coraline, is a revelation." --Booklist, Starred, on Sparky , illustrated by Chris Appelhans "Appelhans makes an auspicious picture book debut with strikingly beautiful watercolor and pencil illustrations. His style, reminiscent of Jon Klassen's, incorporates a muted color palette, but with a slightly softer, rounder quality, while also weaving in visual deadpan humor." --The Horn BookBinding Type: HardcoverAuthor: Emily JenkinsPublisher: Schwartz & Wade BooksPublished: 01/03/2017ISBN: 9780553498059Pages: 32Weight: 1.00lbsSize: 9.30h x 10.80w x 0.50dReview Citations: Kirkus Reviews 10/01/2016Publishers Weekly 10/17/2016School Library Journal 11/01/2016 pg. 72Booklist 11/15/2016 pg. 58BookPage 01/01/2017Shelf Awareness 01/06/2017Bulletin of Ctr for Child Bks 01/01/2017Hornbook Guide to Children 07/01/2017 pg. 14 - Recommended, Satisfactory
