Four illustrators, all of them animal lovers, provide the beguiling cover images for these dog-themed lined journals, including Geoffrey Martin's realistic portrait of Walter, a handsome Bernese mountain dog; the simple yet evocative sketches of pink poodles by Leah Goren; Alice Pattullo's lighthearted (if well-researched) drawings of canine porcelain figurines; and Ben Giles's whimsical digital collage of mismatched half-and-half "mixed breeds." Measuring 5½ × 7 inches closed, these journals are large enough for lengthy writing spells yet compact enough to easily tuck away, and the flexible paper covers are free of any commercial labels or marks.
