Dog wants to play. When? Today!

But no one will play with Dog. Not the chick or the lamb, the calf or the pig. Poor Dog! Isn?t there one playmate who will play with Dog all day long? With its structure of rhyme and repetition, this is the perfect book to prepare children for reading, and Jeff Mack?s exuberant and funny pictures will keep them turning the pages to enjoy the fun.

"Subtle and sweet."—Kirkus

"[A] charming and simply told story . . . a good addition to farm-themed storytimes."—School Library Journal

"One look at the appealing cover will entice the reader to join the perky, brown and white puppy"—Booklist
