Description


"Murphy-Stop-That is my name. I am a terrier. I bark. I bark at anything and everything and all the time."

As he goes through his day -- barking, eating, outsmarting the dumb animals on the farm, putting up with a visit to the vet -- Murphy never loses his doggy enthusiasm, even when he has to sleep out in the barn.

In her charming new tale, acclaimed author and illustrator Alice Provensen shows that every dog -- even a bad dog -- has his day.

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."
