"Play nice.
It's fun to play with friendly dogs! Mean ones?
Not so much. Dogs know that getting along is
where it's at.
And being kind to others is tail-waggingly
wonderful."
Dogs have a lot to teach us. That is exactly what they do in this book that will attract the attention of many young learners who have a special love for dogs. A dog narrator quickly gets to the lessons that dogs have to teach us. We are to sit and stay while he offers up a series of lessons to help we humans what it is dogs want us to know.
Each one begins with an opening statement about behavior, and ends with a short paragraph of explanation concerning the whys for that way of living life. The lessons concern attitude, style, patience, loyalty, getting along, eating good food, learning new tricks, being content and relaxed, being confident, getting enough exercise, taking a walk in the outdoors, being curious about the world, and being grateful for what you have.
These suggestions are accompanied by digital artwork that shine with movement and character. It is sure to capture attention and provide scenes that will encourage all readers to take time to come to a full stop and take a close look at all that is happening on the fascinating spreads. Kids will also be interested in naming known dog breeds, and have questions about those they don't recognize. Simple, thoughtful lessons, great hair, and a celebration of living with joy.
