How do you pick out a dog, when the time has come to find the one that's best for you? Do you look for one that's got that posh movie-star appeal, or do you go for the massively energetic dogs that pounces on you the moment you walk in the door?
Emma Dodd has written and illustrated a clever story which trips off the tongue as a young girl looks for just the right dog. During her search, she encounters all sorts of dogs, from the snooty attitudey to the greedy and the needy, but none of them are just what she has in mind. When it seems like any other dog lover might have given up in despair, this gal won't quit, because she is sure that somewhere out there is the willy-nilly dog that's just the one for her.
For books that are as fun to look at as they are to read to your children, look up I Don't Want a Posh Dog and many other books by Emma Dodd at the Batavia, Bartlett, Schaumburg, Poplar Creek, and Gail Borden public libraries and get ready to enjoy.
