Wegman uses real pictures of his own Weimaraner puppies, combined with original paintings, to tell the story of Flo and Wendell, a sister and brother who have their differences but who still find ways to get along.
I am sure some will love the illustrations, but I find them unappealing and even creepy, all those expressionless puppies staring up from the pages, with crude paintings splashed overtop. The text is in the same vein as the first Olivia and Clifford the Dog books, but it does not seem creative or different enough to make up for the pictures.
