Having sorted out the cat world in 'Cat with Piano Tuna.' (see my book ID rja746417), investigated the pig universe in 'Pig's Ear.' and upset the birds in 'Bird Dropping.',Simon Drew now chooses to sharpen his merciless wit on trusting and unsuspecting dogs. Perplexing puns - both visual and verbal - mingle with some the English language's most excruciating verse in this light-hearted romp with 'Man's Best Friend.' This is vintage Drew.Everything that one has come to expect from him is here - mind-boggling wordplay coupled with arresting artwork turning the accepted canaine world topsy-turvy.Your view of dogs can never be the same again. You will emerge from 'Dogsbodies.' all the richer for the experience.You will be proficient,for example,in the mysteries of dog semaphore and acquainted with that most useful handydog Pointer and Decorator. Who could ask for more? Clearly this is Simon Drew finally going to the dogs.
