What-a-Mess, naïve and irrepressible Afghan hound (a.k.a. Prince Amir of Kinjan), is left alone in the house and must forage to find lunch (having already eaten the four bowls of food left for his daily meals in the middle of the night). His friend, the mischievous neighbor cat, suggests he hunt for his next meal and, although he finds that he doesn't have the wiles or stomach for the kill, he does manage to find a perfectly delightful lunch next door...
As a child I read "What A Mess" and did not discover there were more books in this series until I was an adult visiting Hay On Wye. All of the picture books in this series tell great stories and the pictures are beyond cute and clever. NO matter your age these books are a definite must read.
