Bookroo's summary

Hazel is sure she has things figured out. On a walk in the park she labels every dog she meets: a mean dog, a sweet dog, a sad dog, a naughty dog. But when something stirs up all kinds of feelings in Hazel herself, she takes a second look and sees that dogs, and people, are never just one thing.

From the publisher

NATIONAL BESTSELLER - While observing all the dogs in the park, Hazel realizes that first impressions are not always as they seem in this charming picture book that teaches readers about emotions. Hazel has things all figured out--she is one clever girl. So, when she encounters a snarling dog in the park, she knows that dog is mean. And as her walk continues, she identifies a sweet dog, a sad dog, a naughty dog, and many more. But then something happens that leads Hazel to experience all kinds of different reactions herself, and she takes a second look at the dogs. Soon she sees that dogs--and people!--are not just one thing. We're each our own special mix of all sorts of emotions and behaviors. We're all that--and more. And what of the snarling dog? A surprise is in store for Hazel and the reader! With whimsical, vibrant illustrations and easy-to-read text, Hazel Is All That is a beautiful reminder that a little bit of understanding makes a world of a difference.
