May I Pet Your Dog?: The How-To Guide for Kids Meeting Dogs (and Dogs Meeting Kids) Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Children encounter dogs wherever they go: in the park, on the sidewalk, at their friends homes. Sometimes its love at first sight, on both sides—but not always. The right way for a child to approach a dog to ensure that the first connection is a complete success begins with this question to the owner: “May I pet your dog?” Using Harry the dachshund as a gentle guide, Stephanie Calmenson addresses this valuable yet overlooked topic with care and precision, and Jan Ormerods warm illustrations portray a wide variety of breeds and personalities and depict situations that are realistic but never scary. Unique and straightforward, this is the essential guide to bringing children and dogs together—for kids and parents alike.

About the Author

Stephanie Calmenson has written many popular books for children. Her work has been called" marvelous" by Publishers Weekly, "lyrical" by School Library Journal, and "sweet, funny, and right on the mark" by Booklist. For Clarion, she has written Shaggy, Waggy Dogs and Rosie: A Visiting Dogs Story, which Smithsonian called "one of the outstanding nonfiction titles of the year." Stephanie says, "It might surprise those who have read her book to find out that at home Rosie has chewed important papers, stolen socks, and nabbed food from the table. But she's definitely my Perfect Puppy."
