If I Were a Dog cover

If I were a dog… I’d be silly or patient, or happy or shy. Sometimes I’d be grumpy. Sometimes I’d be playful. Just like me. In a celebration of both what it means to be a dog and what it means to be human, If I Were a Dog shows us how much we all have in common - with each other, and with our animal friends.

"This brief, sweet, quiet book resounds with reassurance, and readers/listeners will snuggle to hear it, just as cuddling pooches do, in laps, at bedtime, or in small group-reading sessions . . . A sweet treat for dog lovers. " --Kirkus Reviews


"An intuitive, joyful book that gives children agency to imagine their own doggy selves, but also creates a foundation for discussions on differences and similarities." --School Library Journal
