But what Emily Jenkins and Chris Appelhans' lyrical collaboration is really about is the intoxicating thrill of friendship, and boundless joy of play.
-The New York Times A merry read-aloud.
-The Wall Street Journal From a heavyweight author and illustrator duo comes a delicious tongue twister of a picture book that features a little round greyhound and a little round groundhog.
With very spare, incredibly lively language, this is an entertaining read-aloud, with two amazing--and oh-so-adorable--characters at its heart.
When a greyhound meets a groundhog, wordplay and crazy antics ensue.
The two animals, much like kids, work themselves into a frenzy as they whirl around and around one another.
(Around, round hound.
Around, groundhog ) The pace picks up (Around and around and astound and astound ), until they ultimately wear themselves out.
Jenkins's masterful text is deceptively simple.

--Booklist, Starred, on Sparky , illustrated by Chris Appelhans Appelhans makes an auspicious picture book debut with strikingly beautiful watercolor and pencil illustrations.
His style, reminiscent of Jon Klassen's, incorporates a muted color palette, but with a slightly softer, rounder quality, while also weaving in visual deadpan humor.
