What Is Your Dog Doing is so simple and so fun. It has been wonderful for our kiddo through all the reading stages. The rhymes make this a fun read aloud, and as he gets older he’s picking out letters and words that he knows.
Dog parents will love this one. Ever had a dog chew your chair? Or eat your cupcakes off the table? 🙋🏻♀️ Working dogs are included too, and dogs who help people. Dogs are just the best. The dog wired / dog tired page may be my favorite!
Written by Marilyn Singer, who also wrote the Tallulah books (we love Tallulah’s Nutcracker) and Follow the Recipe: Poems About Imagination, Celebration, and Cake that’s just beautiful (recipes for courage? yes!). Illustrated by the talented Kathleen Habbley.
And yes, we named our dog after the princess 👑. We adopted her from the LA County Animal Care Center in Downey, a wonderful place to adopt from!
What Is Your Dog Doing? is available on Amazon and Bookshop.
