Dogsbodies
Having sorted out the cat world in Cat with Piano Tuna , investigated the pig universe in Pig's Ear and upset the birds in Bird Dropping , Simon Drew now chooses to sharpen his merciless wit on trusting and unsuspecting dogs. Perplexing puns - both visual and verbal - mingle with some of the English language's most excruciating verses in this light-hearted romp with 'Man's Best Friend'. You will emerge from Dogsbodies all the richer for the experience. You will be proficient, for example, in the mysteries of dog semaphore and acquainted with that most useful handydog Pointer and Decorator. Who could ask for more? Clearly Simon Drew is finally going to the dogs.

He was educated at Bradfield College, Berkshire, and then studied zoology at Exeter University before going on to train as a teacher at Reading University. He spent five years teaching at a West Sussex school and while there spent his spare time drawing.
In 1981 he and his wife established an art gallery in Dartmouth, Devon, to sell his own work and that of studio potters. The gallery has since been listed by the Crafts Council as one of the 54 best in the country.
He continues to work, mainly in pen and ink, making still life compositions from everyday objects, birds and animals.
His first book 'A Book of Bestial Nonsense' was published in 1986 and since then he has written and illustrated more than 20.
He has exhibited locally and in Cape Cod, USA, and his pictures, limited edition prints and cards are bestsellers.

Some very excellent puns in here about dogs and life, which made this an even better read.
