A parent’s response to The Dog Who Couldn’t Be Petted: My husband just read a prepublication
copy of The Dog Who Couldn’t Be Petted to our 5 year old; it was the FIRST time she has sat all the way through a book of this length. When he finished, she said, ‘Read it again!’ She loves it. I asked her ‘Is this the book you want?’ and she yelled YES!!!! Then she had him read it again, this time to her dolls so they can learn too. When I tried to interrupt her, my daughter exclaimed, No! My dolls are ready to learn some doggy stuff! This book is so necessary. It is one of my favorite new kids’ books.
