Tristan, a fluffy white bichon frise dog, has hair, not fur, and he needs a hair cut. This photo book follows Tristan as he’s brushed, washed, dried, trimmed and clipped at the groomers. It is the second of nine books written about Tristan’s adventures.

It’s is a really cute story about a real life Bichon Frise dog named Tristan and details his grooming experience in his own words. The photos are taken of Tristan throughout his grooming process. The book is designed to enhance the vocabulary of kids at a reading age, but I read this book to my 6 month old daughter and she loved it. She loved all the photos of the dog. The photos are taken of Tristan throughout his grooming process, and she loved his different expressions. I have also read it to my 4 year old nephew and he loved it too.
