The Adventures of Taxi Dog - by Debra Barracca & Sal Barracca (Hardcover)

About the Book

A stray dog in New York City is adopted by a taxi driver, with whom he thereafter rides and shares adventures each day.

Book Synopsis

Maxi, a homeless mutt in New York City, has always fended for himself. Then one day a kind taxi driver named Jim offers him friendship, a home, and a place in the front seat! From that moment on, Maxi and Jim revel in the sights and sounds of the city, and share all sorts of wild adventures-from rushing two clowns and a chimp to the circus, to singing duets with an opera diva! These and other adventures are brilliantly depicted in Mark Buehner's witty, detail-packed oil paintings.
