Proving that cats don't have the last word when it comes to making Christmas lists, author and artist Kandy Radzinski returns this holiday season with the canine companion book to last year's favorite, What Cats Want for Christmas. Using witty poems and winsome illustrations, What Dogs Want for Christmas lets our four-footed friends speak for themselves. And what does Man's Best Friend have on his holiday list? Ruffus, a dapper Scottie, would love "something with fur... that once went purr..." while the more practical basset hound Daisy complains, "My ears hang down to my feet. Can you fix them so they're short and neat?" Santa is going to need a bigger sleigh to fulfill some of these holiday wishes! After reading What Dogs Want for Christmas, canine lovers of all ages will think twice before buying another chew toy.Kandy Radzinski received her Master of Science in Art from East Texas State University. She taught art at Central Washington State College and the University of Tulsa. Kandy has illustrated children's books, posters, greeting cards, and even a six-foot penguin. Her books with Sleeping Bear Press include What Cats Want for Christmas and I is for Idea: An Inventions Alphabet. Kandy lives in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

      Fourteen dogs of different breeds get the opportunity to ask Santa for a special present in this beautifully illustrated celebration of canine Christmas wishes. Each spread showcases one dog of a particular breed in a Christmas setting, surrounded by a border of evergreen garland or holiday ribbon. The text is presented as postcards from the dogs to Santa, with each one set in a different typeface. Each message requests something useful or amusing for that particular breed, and the gift is integrated somewhere in the spread (a furry jacket for a tiny Chihuahua, for example, or a stretchy hat to help a basset hound keep his ears in line). The final spread shows an adorable black lab puppy asking for a loving home with a kind owner, and a closer look reveals that the puppy is actually being held in Santa 's gloved hands. Radzinski 's illustrations capture the expression and furry details of each dog, with careful attention to proportion and perspective. Dog lovers will find this a delectable Christmas treat. (Picture book. 4-7)
