Description
MURPHY-STOP-THAT is my name. I am a terrier. I bark. I bark at anything and everything and all the time.
On a farm filled with delicious kitchen smells and dumb farm animals and unexplained noises, there's always something to keep a dog busy -- and often in trouble. From his morning rush to the house for breakfast to his final rounds before curling up in his comfortable bed in the barn at night, Murphy is the sort of irrepressible but lovable dog that only Alice Provensen, with her trademark affection for even misbehaving animals, could portray.
About the Author
Alice Provensen collaborated with her late husband, Martin, on numerous highly acclaimed picture books, including the Caldecott Medal-winning The Glorious Flight and Nancy Willard's Newbery Medal-winning A Visit to William Blake's Inn, which was also a Caldecott Honor Book. The Provensens have been on the New York Times list of the Ten Best Illustrated Books eight times. Alice lives in Staatsburg, New York, on Maple Hill Farm.
Praise for A Day in the Life of Murphy…
"Refreshing...Murphy practically jumps out of your hands...Alice Provensen is certainly an artist, in word and image."
-- New York Times Book Review
"An assured but simple presentation that will earn this memorably funny dog a place on shelves and in hearts."
-- School Library Journal, starred review
