About This Book

A little dachshund is overwhelmed by the noise, heat, and chaos of a New York City summer. When his owner takes him on a bus ride to a breezy beach, the anxious pup finally finds relief splashing in the waves and cooling off in the sand. Doug Salati's expressive watercolor illustrations beautifully capture the sensory overload of the city and the calm release of the shore.

Why We Love This

Kids immediately connect with this overwhelmed little dog, and the journey from hot, hectic city streets to the peaceful ocean is so satisfying - a Caldecott Medal winner for good reason.
