About This Book
Reach for this book when your toddler or preschooler is suddenly obsessed with every dog they see on the street or when you are preparing to bring a new puppy into your home. It is a joyful, rhythmic celebration of variety that helps children understand that dogs, much like people, come in all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. The simple, bouncy text is perfect for building early vocabulary and maintaining the attention of active little ones. The story follows a young boy as he enthusiastically points out the differences in his canine friends: from big to small, shaggy to smooth, and silly to serious. It fosters a sense of wonder and appreciation for the natural world while emphasizing that every dog is special in its own way. This is an ideal choice for a quick bedtime read or a fun, interactive daytime session where you can encourage your child to bark along or point out their favorite puppy.
