Bookroo's summary
Dog is eager to play, but every animal he approaches—chick, lamb, calf, pig—turns him down. As he searches for a friend to share his playful spirit, will Dog find someone to romp with all day? This delightful tale of persistence and friendship, filled with rhyme and repetition, invites young readers to join Dog on his quest for companionship. Who will finally say yes to Dog's playful plea?
From the publisher
Dog wants to play. When? Today! But no one will play with Dog. Not the chick or the lamb, the calf or the pig. Poor Dog! Isn’t there one playmate who will play with Dog all day long? With its structure of rhyme and repetition, this is the perfect book to prepare children for reading, and Jeff Mack’s exuberant and funny pictures will keep them turning the pages to enjoy the fun.
