Walk Your Dog

PreS-K—With sweet pictures and simple text, Omlor and Hudson take readers through one day in the life of a little girl and her happy, but not always well-trained pet. The story begins and ends with the little girl and the dog in her bedroom. In between, the story follows their activities over the course of one day, and each spread contains just three words—a verb and the phrase "your dog." Only the verb varies as the story progresses. The little girl must greet, groom, feed, dress, walk, chase, catch, train, treat, clean, settle, and love her dog. The simplicity and repetition of the words will give confidence to beginning readers. The illustrations are humorous and detailed, adding additional information to the story and well as capturing the ever-changing emotions of the little girl as she tries to control her dog. Although the story shows that having a pet is a lot of work and can be frustrating, it also shows the rewards of dog ownership.
