Summary: children love the absurd humor
Review: Children love the absurd humor in this picture book by William Wegman. The trademark Wegman dogs, weimaraners, are photographed here in a variety of settings. Chip, one of the weimaraners, is dressed like a human. Chip believes he IS a human, and he wants a dog. Chip gazes longingly out a window at a dog, wishing he could own one. A dog would make Chip happy, or so he thinks. Chip's mother and father do not want a dog in the house, though. There are lots of humorous photographs here. The illustrations are playful, and the expressions on the dogs' faces will bring you belly laughs. Eventually, Chip realizes that he IS a dog (the truth comes to him in a dream), and that helps him resolve the conflict. I recommend this to all children, and adults with a playful sense of the absurd. ken32
