Reach for this book when your child is in the midst of a persistent 'can I have a dog?' phase and needs a gentle, humorous way to process the boundary you have set. While many stories about pets focus on the eventual arrival of an animal, this book validates the intense longing and creative pining that happens when the answer is still 'no.' Chip is a young dog himself, which adds a layer of absurdist humor to his quest for a canine companion. Through William Wegman's iconic photography, the story explores Chip's vivid imagination and his attempt to prove his readiness for responsibility. It is a perfect choice for children ages 3 to 7 who are learning to navigate disappointment through creativity and play.
