My Father the Dog
By Elizabeth Bluemle
Illustrated by Randy Cecil
A cheeky picture book full of humour and love.
Dad pretends to be human, but the kids know otherwise. Between first-thing-in-the-morning scratching, fetching the paper, snacking, lying around for hours (even the occasional pit stop behind a tree) the evidence is clear. But so is his steadfast love and loyalty -- the best things about dads and dogs alike.
- Children will love the cartoon-like illustrations and the gentle humour -- just in time for Father's Day!
- Dad lovers and dog lovers will both delight in this buoyantly illustrated, tongue-in-cheek tribute to the traits these two species share - and why we adore them.
