I don't have the author's name but it is a picture book that describes a dog in a pet shop who tries to act in a way that will get him adopted. Cindy John Pig's Halloween has a lot of descriptive words. Amy ONe book I like to use is John Henry by Julius Lester. It contains many strong verbs and the langauge is very descriptive. The Nobles How about Bill Peet books or William Steig books? They both use rich language to express ideas Carrie If you have my picture book, THE SEA CHEST, in your collection, it's one that is often praised especially for its descriptive language.
