Description

A lively and entertaining picture book about a scruffy but lovable pet dog with an aversion to grooming

 

Our dog is not a clean dog,

a shiny or a fluffy dog.
Our dog is a seadog . . .

 

Seadog loves to chase birds and find and roll around in fish but doesn't like to take baths. But even this dog knows the importance of getting clean and will stay still until he's all cleaned up. Full of humor and warmth, this book is written in an easy verse style making it great for reading aloud. Not since Harry the Dirty Dog has there been such a lovable puppy with such an aversion to grooming.
