What's Some Dogs About

Publisher Summary

“This brief, layered-view board book invites young readers to look at cute dogs and admire how different they all are from one another. Dogs are often paired with their opposites (solid/spots, shaggy/sleek), but the book emphasizes that dogs ‘recognize and accept one another’ regardless of differences. If dogs can do it, we can, too!”–School Library JournalAn ode to the wonderful diversity of dogs (and their owners), this colorful, chunky board book is work of art meant to be displayed face-out on nursery bookshelves.Finalist, 2023 CYBILS Awards (Board Books)Some dogs are slender. Some dogs are round. Some dogs are leggy, some close to the ground.The dogs in this bright, playful board book come in all shapes, colors, and sizes–but they don’t let their differences keep them from having fun together. Every page turn reveals a new layer to Lydia Nichol’s adorable depiction of a busy dog park. A gentle introduction to diversity and acceptance, this rhyming story helps young children recognize that differences are often only skin deep.Some Dogs is part of the LAYERED VIEW board book series celebrating the ways in which our differences make the world a diverse place.

      Lydia Nichols

      Lydia Nichols is an illustrator and anthropomorphizer with a fondness for tea time with books and a plan to eventually visit all of National Parks. When not illustrating happy-go-lucky animals, she’s likely doodling them on post-it notes and scrap paper. People describe her work as charming and whimsical. They describe her as redheaded. Her two kitties are aspiring Art Directors and often offer feedback in form of purrs while stomping across her keyboard.
