This delightful mid-century children’s book by Carol Ryrie Brink, the Newbery Medal-winning author of “Caddie Woodlawn,” transports readers to the whimsical world of Professor Petit and his highly trained dogs. Published in 1953 and charmingly illustrated by Robert Henneberger, it captures the post-war era’s fascination with circus acts and animal performers. Brink’s narrative voice enchants with its gentle humor and vivid descriptions, inviting young readers to marvel at the dogs’ incredible tricks and Professor Petit’s loving tutelage. This well-preserved copy offers a nostalgic glimpse into a simpler time when tales of human-animal bonds and family entertainment reigned supreme. Collectors of vintage children’s literature and dog enthusiasts alike will appreciate this heartwarming gem from a celebrated author’s oeuvre.
