STORY TIME with Frann Preston-Gannon

Join us as Frann Preston-Gannon hosts Sunday morning Story Time and reads from Hot Dog, Cold Dog.

Vibrant, collage-like illustrations paired with simple rhyming text show off the comically lovable proportions of the dachshund with its short legs and long body, spirited nature, and cheerful temperament. Hot Dog, Cold Dog reveals an adorable array of wiener dog looks, showing kids the fun times these little pups have as they visit the beach, cavort in the snow, dig in the garden, jump to the ceiling, and even ride a skateboard—all the while giving a lesson in opposites. Perfect for dog-lovers of every age!

Frann Preston-Gannon is a UK-based illustrator and author. Her varied clients have included The Sunday Times and Burt’s Bees. Her first book, The Journey Home, was published in October 2011 and has so far been shortlisted for four separate book awards. She was the UK’s first-ever Sendak Fellowship recipient, which sent her to work in residence with Maurice Sendak on his estate in Connecticut before his death in 2012.
