Summary

Dr. Xargle’s Hilarious Guide to Earth Hounds!

Earth Hounds have fangs at the front and a waggler at the back. To find out which is which, hold a sausage at both ends. Thus Dr. Xargle, our friendly alien teacher, begins to teach his class all about man’s best friend.

This is an hysterically funny book, a guaranteed hit with dog-lovers everywhere, particularly dog-owners, who will vouch for the fact that Earth Hounds can, indeed, jump as high as a roast beef!

What They're Saying

Critics Review

“Ross complements the professor’s disquisition with his usual coterie of gleeful, popeyed children and harassed adults, struggling doggedly to cope with their pets’ exuberance. Madcap fun.”

“A dream team of writer and illustrator.” * The Times *
