Carry-Ons
by Sharon Montrose, Spencer Starr
From Publishers Weekly
In this miniature volume, photographer Montrose (Lightweights; Dogtionary) captures the fun portability of these small Mexican dogs. The photoswhich give a two- to four-page spread to each dogshowcase a sunny Los Angeles setting: there are dogs pictured surfing, swimming and strutting down the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Each entry includes a dog's travel list and favorite haunt. For example, Leyla likes to travel to the Venice Beach Farmer's Market, the Rose Café and ZJ Surf Shop; this white chihuahua's favorite spot is "lifeguard station 17 at Will Rogers State Park." Elsewhere, big-eared Sea Bass is pictured with goggles, ready to enter his favorite place: the "copilot chair in his owner's 1979 piper archer 99." Retro colors and typefaces are used throughout the volume, and the photos are cropped and arranged in artful variations, so the layout successfully avoids monotony. A cutesy book of dogs with cutesy names (Lipstick, Chi Chi, Chewy, Yoda, etc.), this smart combination of charming design and clever pictures should please any chihuahua fan.
