MY DOG LAUGHS

Caldecott Honor winner 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.

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. But most of all, it 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!

ENORMOUS POTENTIAL AUDIENCE: The ASPCA estimates that 78 million dogs are owned in the U.S., with approximately 44% of all households having at least one dog.

FAMILIAR DOG-RELATED ACTIVITIES: The book is organized into several relatable sections: I Meet My Dog, Getting to Know My Dog, I Train My Dog, Going Out With My Dog, My Dog Plays, and I Love My Dog.

ADORABLY ILLUSTRATED IN THE STYLE OF I HEAR A PICKLE: Rachel's sweet vignettes of children with their dogs are sure to elicit giggles and "awww"s.

FUNNY SCENES FEATURING A WIDE VARIETY OF BREEDS: These pups are full of personality, and kids and grown-ups alike will laugh out loud at their silly--and likely recognizable--canine antics.

PERFECT GIFT FOR DOG LOVERS: Whether or not you own a dog, if you are a dog person you will adore this book!
