* "Readers without a puppy will soon be begging for a dog of their own by the conclusion of this enchanting look at pet ownership. The children's observations often turn amusingly candid. As with I Hear a Pickle , Isadora delightfully showcases everyday pleasures. Relying on expressive, minimalist art and simple prose, she offers a winsome take on a well-trod topic. This charming work deserves a spot in all libraries."-- School Library Journal , starred review "Features dogs of many breeds, sizes, and ages, with a cast of charming toddlers and preschoolers describing their dogs. Each section shows different children interacting with their own dogs in all sorts of situations, described with just a few words of text with the child as narrator. The whole gamut of canine behavior is covered.
Isadora's spare ink-and-watercolor illustrations are delightfully amusing, whether showing the children romping with their dogs or having a quiet snuggle. This endearing introduction to dog behavior will please those who already have a dog and make those who don't want to join the fun."-- Kirkus Reviews.
