Publisher Description
A perky pup trades in his country life for some city adventures in this humorous picture book companion to A Day in the Life of Murphy, from Caldecott Medalist Alice Provensen.
Spend the day with the irresistibly mischievous Murphy as he ventures into the city. Usually a country dog, Murphy experiences the joys and pitfalls of city life—with plenty of laughs along the way—with the signature humor and artistic style of Caldecott Medalist Alice Provensen.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
More than a decade after A Day in the Life of Murphy, Provensen's opinionated terrier gets a taste of city life. Though Murphy is initially unenthusiastic ("Nothing but cars and concrete. Yuck!"), his tune changes when he sees the dog-centric slate of activities planned. Even a quick trip to an animal shelter after Murphy wanders off doesn't dampen his spirits for long. Provensen's oil paintings have the posed, static look of folk art, though she mixes in modern details, like an urban dog-walker wrestling with his charges or a doggie boutique brimming with chew toys and other goodies. Ages 4 8.
