My Dog Laughs

Now in board book format, Caldecott Honor winner Rachel Isadora's delightful guide to getting to know your dog stars a diverse ensemble of adorable kids.

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 dogs tick, as they train them, care for them, and play with them. Most of all, this book celebrates the fact that dogs are truly awesome companions--who are always happy to see you, and who can even sing, laugh, and dream with you! 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.
