Book Synopsis
Age range 3+ All dogs should be like this! Everybody tells her how dogs should be, but this girl knows better. In this delightfully warm story about a little girl and her unruly, loveable and furry best friend, we learn that her dog does not behave like other dogs. Her dog does what he likes, which just so happens to fit perfectly with the owner. This is a book aimed at preschoolers with a simple story and bright collage illustrations.

Trade Review
"Simple and emphatic--both visually and linguistically--this story of a child's unconditional love for a dog is a nice twist on the more conventional dog's-unconditional-love-for its-owner storyline." --Kirkus Reviews "it's clear that the girl loves her dog for both his foibles and strengths, something that many dog-loving families will agree with eagerly." --Publishers Weekly "Recommended. It is a delight to read and look at the illustrations and I can imagine children reading it aloud, repeating the refrain, 'Dogs should be like that' with growing knowledge that the best dog is not like that at all." --ReadPlus (Australia)
