Welcome to Houndtown

Step inside Houndtown, a city where dogs run the show and every corner hides a surprise. From the Australian Terrier who loves to teach to the chess-playing Miniature Schnauzer, each spread overflows with activity and delightful details to spot. Children can take in the bustle of markets, playgrounds, concerts, and parades, while adults and young readers alike will enjoy recognizing the actual traits of each breed woven into everyday life throughout the seasons. Meet Tucker, the mixed-breed cabbie who knows every shortcut; Lucy, the dachshund with endless charm; and Winston, the Great Dane fishmonger who keeps the market bustling. Every character adds personality, and together they create a town that feels as vibrant and varied as a real city—alive with humor, energy, and warmth. Illustrated with wit and precision, this large-format board book is at once a playful seek-and-find and a joyful portrait of urban life. A handy “Who’s Who” on the back cover introduces all the dogs of Houndtown by breed and name, encouraging readers to follow their favorites through each scene. Its richly detailed artwork and spirit of discovery makes this book an irresistible gift for dog lovers and perfect for children learning to observe and share the world around them.
