Penelope Scambly Schott

Sophia and Mister Walter Whitman Penelope Scambly Schott

Penelope's goldendoodle, Sophia is quite the free spirit-so much so that she reminds the poet of Walt Whitman. In this jeu d'esprit, consisting of 30 poems, we enjoy a delightful peek inside the mind of a dog through her often entertaining & insightful "conversations" and adopted philosophies of her favorite poet (after her poet-owner, of course).




"In Sophia and Mister Walter Whitman, Penelope Scambly Schott's goldendoodle narrates from a dog's point of view, with phrases from Leaves of Grass seamlessly woven into every poem. Four out of four paws for this extremely entertaining collection." -Mark Thalman, author of Stronger Than the Current




"Sophia and Mister Walter Whitman, is a delight, especially for admirers of both our companionable canine citizens and Whitman's poetry." -Barbara Drake, author of The Road to Lilac Hill




"What a delightful escape into a pup's mind!" -Rebecca Smolen, vet tech and author of Excoriation
