"With its airy illustrations and reassuring message, this is a book to gladden 3- to 7-year-olds."--The Wall Street Journal
A beautiful picture book that illustrates the relationship between a young girl and her canine best friend, written and illustrated by publishing legend Joanna Cotler.
If I were a dog . . .
I'd be silly or patient,
or happy or shy.
Sometimes I'd be grumpy.
Sometimes I'd be playful.
Just like me.
In a celebration of both what it means to be a dog and what it means to be human, If I Were a Dog shows us how much we all have in common--with each other, and with our animal friends.
Praise for If I Were a Dog:
"A sweet treat for dog lovers." --Kirkus Reviews
"An intuitive, joyful book that gives children agency to imagine their own doggy selves, but also creates a foundation for discussions on differences and similarities." --School Library Journal
