\"The<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

If you like who dogs are
and what dogs do,
here, my friend, is the book for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This whimsically illustrated poem begins “A is for action\u2026 and B is for bark” with a running dog chasing pigeons, then a hound on its hind legs barking at the cat atop its letter B.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike most tall, square picture books, this one is short and wide, so “F is for flopping” displays a very furry dog spread out across both pages, as does “N is for napping\u2026and napping\u2026and napping again” where the very large dog slowly slips off its chair as it naps – common dog habits that we all recognize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cover’s capital D is cut out, giving a peek at the cute canines within, and at the end of this alphabetic poem, you’ll find all the dog breeds pictured, letter by letter, some with very unusual names!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be sure to scan the included QR code so you can hear an audio reading of this rollicking, rhyming book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is your favorite dog behavior?
