In so many hearts you’re number one! Agile! High-spirited! Obedient! Fun! You hunt. You fish. You search and find. You cheer the old. You guide the blind. In this ode to our most loyal companions, you’ll meet the Labrador Retriever and sixteen other remarkable dogs. There’s the Bloodhound, who has a sense of smell a thousand times better than yours or mine. And there’s the Irish Wolfhound, the world’s tallest dog, who was once the companion of royalty. And we can’t forget the mutt. But that’s not all! You’ll meet big dogs and small dogs, scruffy dogs and elegant dogs, and dogs from all around the world. Pairing engaging poems with surprising facts, this book is a one-of-a-kind gift and a pawsitively perfect read-aloud for dog lovers and aspiring pet owners. Includes illustrations by Elaine Bay, Cátia Chien, and David Ezra Stein.
