Dr Xargle's Book Of Earth Hounds - Jeanne Willis ... a waggler at the back. To find out which is which, hold a sausage at both ends." Thus Dr Xargle, our friendly alien teacher, begins to teach his class all about man's best friend. This is an hysterically funny book, a guaranteed hit with dog-lovers everywhere, particularly dog-owners, who will vouch for the fact that Earth Hounds can, indeed, "jump as high as a roast beef"!

The book ends with all the aliens putting on human costumes so that they can visit Earth and find out what it's like to play with a real Houndlet. ***The Illustrations*** I love Tony Ross' illustrations and this book shows them off to perfection.
