Overview

Claudia Schmid’s drawings meet Matt Harvey’s words in this affectionate look at dogs and their humans. Sit! is an entertaining, occasionally surreal, but mostly down to earth celebration of the strange, satisfying relationship between dog and human. Funny, eccentric, poignant, questionable and a bit weird – this book will appeal to all these sorts of people.
