READ THIS: If My Dad Were a Dog by Annabel Tellis
We liked the cover of this book because it looks just like Peachy's doggie cousin, Jett!
Jett loves to hang out with Peachy's dad since he is his uncle. They read this story and so did our panelists, who say:
I was ecstatic to discover If My Dad Were a Dog. I have 2 dogs myself and talk about them to the kids I teach. Since I am out for the summer, I can't wait until I start in the fall so I can tell my new class about my dogs and introduce them to the awesome book If My Dad Were a Dog. I loved the pictures of this awesome Chocolate Lab. Since I am teaching 2nd grade next school year, this book will be perfect for them to read on their own. Plus, I know they will get a kick out the antics Dad Dog gets into. I have already told several of my teacher friends with dogs about this book! I highly recommend it!
Want a great present for your child to give their dad for Father’s Day? Then keep reading. Scholastic has a great new book out called “If my Dad were a Dog”. Straight from the point of view of the child being the master. Sweet and innocent, this book has a cute rhymes! Great bold graphics and colors good for all ages. Perfect to sit and read together. Every Dad will enjoy this book all year long.
"If My Dad Were a Dog" by Annabel Tellis is a really fun read. Tellis, a former nursery school teacher, obviously knows her target audience! My almost five year old loved this book. Everything about this book is "catchy". From the use of bold, primary colors, to the photos of the dog and the artwork surrounding him, it is hard not to be drawn in. My son and I laughed and giggled our way though this book. Unfortunately for my husband, I think this book may have given our son some interesting ideas! This would make a wonderful gift for any child to give their dad for Father's Day!
If My Dad Were a Dog is absolutely the cutest book! It really is an adorable book to have in every child's library.
It came right in time for Father's Day! My daughter loves not only the story but the illustrations. It is a great book to gift to a child or even to gift to a father. The two can read the book together and enjoy it! You can read this book over and over and it doesn't get old! This really is a must have!

"If my dad were a dog, just for one day, I'd tell him to sit and I'd tell him to stay." Woof! What kid wouldn't relish the chance to put a leash on Dad, bark out the commands for a change, and then spend the entire day at play in the park? With refreshingly direct, unfussy photos of a great big slobber-happy black Lab set against cheerful, simple, primary-colored backgrounds, IF MY DAD WERE A DOG playfully explores, in rhyming text, just what would happen if this, every young child's wish, came true. "Good dog! Good Dad!"
