Old Dog's bones are sore, but he still likes to take long slow walks--but since the little girl arrived, his people are too rushed. He's feeling kind of lonely and left out--but now the girl is learning to walk, and once again he has a companion, one who likes to explore the world at his pace.

Gabriel Alborozo is a dog lover, for sure, as you can see in these illustrations, the best of his career. His energetic line and beautiful sense of color have graced numerous picture books published around the world. This is his first for LQ. Gabe lives in Bexhill On Sea, East Sussex.

Martha Brockenbrough wrote this book as a tribute to her own little girl and her precious old dog. She is a Kirkus Prize Finalist (for The Game of Love and Death) and a brilliant writer of picture books including Love, Santa and Cheerful Chick. She lives with her family, including two dogs and two cats, in Seattle, Washington.
