From the publisher

Caldecott Honor winner Rachel Isadora’s delightful introduction to the joys of having a dog stars a diverse ensemble of adorable kids and their beloved canine friends, in a style reminiscent of her popular I Hear a Pickle. Dogs are amazing! Dogs are a lot of work! And here is the perfect book to help a child understand what is involved in living with one. Lively illustrations show a variety of children learning what makes their dog tick, as they train them, care for them, and play with them.

Rachel Isadora’s love for our canine friends shines through on every page, as she shares some of the best–and most exasperating!–things about having a dog.
