We want a dog! What kind of dog...?

This funny rhyming text takes us through twenty-seven unexpected and amusing varieties of dogs that one could have, like ""one that begs, one that sheds, one that rips things into shreds."" And while the book is sure to delight any dog lover, the narrator's choice at the end will make readers laugh out loud!

'A ­visual treat with a jaunty, easy-to-read text, this should have wide appeal.' — School Library Journal

'Lively, rhyming text is perfectly paired with expressive, energetic artwork. The bold digital illustrations, done in a minimal palette of black, white, and red, are full of spontaneity and ingeniousness...

Together text and art will garner giggles for this perfect read-aloud with a surprise twist ending!' — Kirkus Reviews, starred review"
