About This Book
Reach for this book when you want to celebrate the quirky, messy, and hilarious bond between your family and your four-legged friends. It is a perfect choice for lighthearted bedtime reading or for helping a child develop empathy by imagining the world from an animal's perspective. The book features a collection of short poems told from the point of view of various dogs, focusing on their distinct personalities and their comical obsessions with treats, naps, and their human families. Through these rhythmic verses, Patricia MacLachlan captures the unconditional love and joy pets bring to a household. For children ages 4 to 8, it serves as a gentle introduction to poetry while reinforcing the idea that every living creature has its own unique story and feelings.
