An ode to the wonderful diversity of dogs (and their owners), this colorful, chunky board book is work of art meant to be displayed face-out on nursery bookshelves. Finalist, 2023 CYBILS Awards (Board Books) Some dogs are slender. Some dogs are round. Some dogs are leggy, some close to the ground. The dogs in this bright, playful board book come in all shapes, colors, and sizes—but they don’t let their differences keep them from having fun together. Every page turn reveals a new layer to Lydia Nichol’s adorable depiction of a busy dog park. A gentle introduction to diversity and acceptance, this rhyming story helps young children recognize that differences are often only skin deep.
