Do I Have to Wear a Coat?

Praise for MY DOG LAUGHS
     * "Readers without a puppy will soon be begging for a dog of their own by the conclusion of this enchanting look at pet ownership. . . . Isadora delightfully showcases everyday pleasures. Relying on expressive, minimalist art and simple prose, she offers a winsome take on a well-trod topic. This charming work deserves a spot in all libraries."--SLJ STAR
     "The whole gamut of canine behavior is covered. . . . Isadora's spare ink-and-watercolor illustrations are delightfully amusing. . . . This endearing introduction to dog behavior will please those who already have a dog and make those who don't want to join the fun."--Kirkus
     "The spirited, informal line and watercolor vignettes, featuring a multiracial cast of kids and a multi-breed cast of dogs, offer peeks into various kinds of kid-and-dog interactions, and throughout there's a happy cavalcade of wagging tails and owners who'd wag 'em if they had 'em. The result is a catalogue of the kind of vivid detail that will make dog owners yelp in recognition and the dogless whimper in yearning."--BCCB
