SOLVED. Poodle picture book, with desserts [s]

[Mir]

This picture book was published at least 25 years ago. It was a about a standard poodle, but was anthropomorphic. I think he even wore clothes. It might have been sent in France. The only detail I remember was that there were some lavish desserts depicted (maybe in the window of a bakery) that looked quite tasty when I was a little kid!

Miriam I vaguely remember this book. But it was my daughter who read it. I think the name of the book was the poodle's name. And I don't think I still have a copy in my house. The one I remember had a pink cover with pen and ink sketches of a bistro table and chair, the Eiffel Tower and the poodle, who was on his hind legs. Does that sound like the right cover?

[Mir]

Yes, that sounds right. I even thought the poodle's name was the title. But I don't remember the name!

[Ann aka Iftcan]

Yes, that sounds like the one I was thinking of too Miriam. I don't remember the poodle's name either. I'll see what I can to to shift through the 10 shelves of children's books that I still have and see if I DID keep it. If I don't have it, then it had to have been a library book. Hubby is home sick, so not sure if I'll get to it before next week tho.

No rush, thanks for looking! I hope your husband feels better soon.

Pantaloon.

Pantaloon is a poodle with a sweet tooth. He adores cookies and yummy pastries. So when the Baker is looking for a helper, Pantaloon applies for the job.

“Oh, no, Pantaloon!” says the Baker. “You look to me as if you’d eat more than you’d bake.” But Pantaloon proves him wrong in this charming Golden classic...

That's it! Thanks, Lobstergirl!
