Two-time Caldecott Medallist Sophie Blackall's follow-up to her bestselling If I Was a Horse explores the challenges of first friendships through imaginative play.
If we were dogs, what kind would we be?
I'd be a big dog! And you'd be a little dog.
Woof!
Join two friends as they bark and growl, woof and howl - and maybe even quack - in a romp that makes room for everybody's ideas.
Sophie Blackall unleashes an exuberant game of pretend that explores navigating friendship and celebrates boundless imagination.
