The age-old question of “what will I be when I grow up” gets a hilarious twist in this stylish and clever story. A pup and his father contemplate his grand future while looking at other Great Dogs in their family. Will he be a marathon runner like Uncle Tibor, the fastest dog in the family? Will he be an astronaut like Aunt Yuki, who reached for the stars? Or maybe a teacher like Uncle Scooter, respected by all? No matter what, says his father, he will be a GREAT dog!
Come for the irresistible design, stay for the sweet messages about unconditional love and familial pride. The premise--juxtaposing each family member's legacy with the reality of his or her "accomplishments"--is innovative and silly. The text is perfectly brief, and the illustrations are really what tells the story. This book is a sweet reminder that you can cherish all the best bits of your family and then be whomever or whatever you want to be.
