Mister Dash, a sophisticated, dapper-dressing dog, likes his quiet routine with Madame Croissant. Monday through Saturday, he is the epitome of manners. But on Sundays, Daphne visits. Daphne is Madame Croissant's granddaughter and she is far from quiet. She is unpredictable, messy, spontaneous...Mister Dash has no use for these qualities. So when Daphne finds herself in trouble, will he be able to set aside his perfect manners to help her? Merci Mister Dash by Monica Kulling (2011 Tundra Books) is a not-to-be-missed read-aloud with expressive illustrations by Esperanca Melo. For more, visit Monica Kulling's Web site.
