Good-natured and ever-hungry, Farley goes wherever his nose leads him. But as one delicious smell follows another, soon Farley is meeting new friends and exploring parts of town he's never seen before. Just how far has he wandered? Will he find a familiar smell to lead him back home?

Young dog lovers will delight in the irresistible picture-book debut of Farley-an endearing pooch with a big appetite and an even bigger heart!

Editorial Reviews

Like other pooches, Farley is often a prisoner of his nose. Ever hungry and always inquisitive, this big-eared canine follows every scent wherever it might lead. Thanks to his lovable lack of control, he is always meeting new friends and wandering into fresh adventures. A charming picture book debut for an endearingly inept four-legged hero.

Kirkus Reviews

For Better or for Worse's dog Farley doesn't love baths, but they do make him hungry. After he shakes himself dry, he smells HOT DOGS! Farley loves hot dogs, and he runs off before Elly can put his collar back on. Farley follows his nose to a children's party (he loves children) where he gets his hot dog. Then he follows his nose to a construction worker's ham-and-cheese sandwich (he loves ham-and-cheese sandwiches). He's thirsty and follows his nose to a swimming pool (he loves pools). After a nap, he finds a child, lost from the party earlier. Farley first gets the boy home and then follows his nose to his own home. Farley's had a big day, and unfortunately . . . he needs another bath. Johnston's characters from her long-running comic strip are ready-made for picture books. Big-eyed, energetic Farley and his "sniff snorfle SNUFF" nose will be a big hit with storytimers, and it won't matter a bit that they're too young to recognize the characters. A great addition to storytimes on baths, senses and dogs. (Picture book. 4-8)
