Buy Thinker: My Puppy Poet and Me

We’re over the moon to see Thinker: My Puppy Poet and Me featured in The New York Times! Thinker is available in the UK from Tiny Owl, and in the US from Sourcebooks. Read the fab review!
In this charming book of linked poems — the story of a pup who speaks, but only in verse — the distinguished children’s poet Greenfield glides gracefully between rhyme, free verse, haiku and rap. A boy named Jace becomes the dog’s owner. He names him Thinker (“I’m deep and I’m a poet,” the dog warns. “A cute name’s not O.K.”) and the two have back-and-forth chats about life. On every page, Abdollahi’s collaged illustrations bring the characters to life with a soulful flair.
32 pp. Jabberwocky/Sourcebooks. $15.99. (Ages 4 to 8.)
