In this abecedarian art album, The Professional Dog, Sue Clancy shares handmade portraits she created of her friends' dogs in alphabetical order by profession (job) along with an adjective (descriptive word) in a sentence about each dog.

Clancy's text and book concept are inspired by a 19th century word game called “The Minister's Cat”. Can you think of more professions and adjectives in alphabetical order than there are in this book?

This book was made because Clancy believes that children need books of fine art too - any vocabulary building there may be in this book is a bonus.
