I wasn't The Dog that looks like its Owner
and Most Fabulous Fella was some other male.
But there was one class where I came in first -
I'm The Dog with the Waggiest Tail.

From huskies, born to run, to those big bad bruisers, the security dogs. Meet Bruno, the smallest dog on the farm, and Charlie, the dancing chihuahua. Find rescue dogs, helping dogs, yappy dogs, happy dogs - and the dog with the waggiest tail!

All written from the dogs' point of view, by internationally acclaimed poets Brian Moses and Roger Stevens, this funny and perceptive canine collection will be treasured by dog-lovers of all ages.

About the Authors

Roger Stevens visits schools, libraries and festivals performing his work and running workshops for young people and teachers. He spends his time between the Loire, in France, and Brighton, where he lives with his wife and a very, very, very shy dog called Jasper. He has published over thirty books for children, but Jasper says this book is the best one yet.

Brian Moses has been labelled 'one of Britain's favourite children's poets' by the National Poetry Archive. When asked by CBBC to write a poem for the Queen's 80th Birthday he wrote a poem from the point of view of her corgis which was framed and is probably hanging up in one of the lesser bathrooms in Buckingham Palace, or behind the dog kennels. His own dog, a fox red labrador called Honey, takes a very dim view of Brian putting words into her mouth and considers him to be barking mad for much of the time.

All the poems are written from the dog perspective, giving them a real insight/ Meet dogs of every imaginable kind, from huskies, born to run, to those big bad bruisers, the security dogs.
