Bashful Bob and Doleful Dorinda by Atwood, Margaret. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781599900049.

Bob never knew he was a human boy, after being abandoned outside a beauty parlor and then raised by a bunch of dogs. He barked at businessmen and burrowed under bushes. Fortunately for Bob, dimple-faced Dorinda, a distressed damsel down on her luck, found him and taught him how to be a real boy. When a bureaucratic blunder puts the town in jeopardy, only Bashful Bob and Doleful Dorinda can save everyone from a dreadful disaster. Combined with Dušan Petricics whimsical illustrations, Margaret Atwoods cleverly written, alliterative picture book will challenge and delight readers of all ages.
