From the author and photographer of Lightweights comes an irresistible single breed book sure to delight all dog lovers. Stylish, four-color photos feature Chihuahuas as they visit their favorite spots around town (places as diverse as an airplane cockpit and the Hollywood Walk of Fame). The text includes the name of each dog and where it travels ("Places Vida Travels: Petco, Kinko's Copies, Insomnia Coffee Shop, Samuel French Books, Canter's Deli, Office Depot, Third Street Promenade, Palm Dessert."). The perfect follow-up to Lightweights, this book is a fresh and funny look at one of the world's most beloved - and charming - dog breeds.

In this miniature volume, photographer Montrose (Lightweights; Dogtionary) captures the fun portability of these small Mexican dogs. The photoswhich give a two- to four-page spread to each dogshowcase a sunny Los Angeles setting: there are dogs pictured surfing, swimming and strutting down the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Each entry includes a dogs travel list and favorite haunt. For example, Leyla likes to travel to the Venice Beach Farmers Market, the Rose Caf and ZJ Surf Shop; this white chihuahuas favorite spot is "lifeguard station 17 at Will Rogers State Park." Elsewhere, big-eared Sea Bass is pictured with goggles, ready to enter his favorite place: the "copilot chair in his owners 1979 piper archer 99." Retro colors and typefaces are used throughout the volume, and the photos are cropped and arranged in artful variations, so the layout successfully avoids monotony. A cutesy book of dogs with cutesy names (Lipstick, Chi Chi, Chewy, Yoda, etc.), this smart combination of charming design and clever pictures should please any chihuahua fan.
