商品描述内容简介The Naming of Dogs is a difficult matter, as Ogden and his
big brother discover in this most charming of collaborations
between Rhoda Levine and Edward Gorey. You see, the
sheepdog was sitting patiently in the back yard when the family
moved in. No one mentioned that there would be a sheepdog
in the yard, but there he was. He seemed to be waiting for
something, and the family, especially Ogden, is determined
to find out what it is. Does the dog want dinner? a lollipop? a
stray cat? conversation? No, what the dog wants is—a name!
But you can’t just choose any name for a grown-up dog. No,
it has to be the right name. And with a little patience, and a
lot of persistence, the brothers might just figure out just what
that name is.媒体推荐Praise forHe Was There the Day We Moved In:
