Farley follows his nose in this engaging picture-book, lured away from home by the scent of hot-dogs. With a sniff, snorfle, snuff and whuff, he makes his way from backyard party to construction site, through someone else's pool and into an unfamiliar park. There are many interesting smells in the

world, and Farley loves them all. But when he finds himself far from home, will they help him retrace his steps...?

A humorous dog-on-the-town story, Farley Follows His Nose will appeal to fans of Lynn Johnston's For Better or For Worse comic-strip, as well as to young animal lovers. I myself am not a regular reader of said comic, and probably would not have picked this one up, had it not been reviewed in a recent issue of The Horn Book magazine. I'm glad, all things considered, that I did, as Farley makes a lovable and entertaining canine hero. With all the sound words, this one would be an excellent story-hour selection.
