Dogs

Reach for this book when your child is overwhelmed by the variety of the world or when you want to celebrate the beauty of individual differences through a familiar, high-interest subject. It is a perfect choice for toddlers and preschoolers who are beginning to categorize the world around them but need a gentle reminder that every 'type' has value. The book is a rhythmic, visual catalog of dogs in all their glory: big, small, hairy, bald, well-behaved, and cheeky. While it functions as a playful concept book about opposites and adjectives, it carries a deep emotional resonance regarding belonging and affection. Parents will appreciate the clever illustrations and the heartwarming conclusion that emphasizes that the best dog is the one who loves you back, making it an ideal choice for families considering a new pet or those who simply want to foster a sense of unconditional love.
