Review for Can I Pet Your Dog?
A dog-tastic tons of fun book!
As of writing this review on Feb 20th I am still hard at work looking for a dog! So far nothing! So lately I have been looking around for more doggy books. From non-fiction to picture books. Anything. So I had this book on my list for a bit and thanks to my hubby (who gave me this as a birthday present) I got to read it! And BOY, this was so fun, and yes, I could see me do a few of these just to get some pets and love!
In this book we get to see some wonderful, hilarious, silly ways to pet a dog. Because everyone wants to pet a dog, but how would you go about that and why would you do the normal things (like we see in the beginning illustrations) if you can also just drape yourself in bacon? Or hire a bench and find a dog that gets told off all the time by his owner for sitting on the couch. Or play a bush (along with some big twigs) and just be on a route with cute dogs. How hey, sell sticks? Maybe I should try that one. I loved how the book had some really normal things, but as the story progressed got a bit weirder in the ways of getting a dog’s attention. Like, asking a dog/owner to pet said dog is very normal, but launching yourself from a cannon to get to a dog, that is weird and silly and made me laugh so hard. These people are all dedicated! Then again, doggos are ADORABLE.
And I love the illustrations, they are so so much fun and I especially love how the dogs and the person (or people) doing the plans to get some doggo love are in colour while the rest is grey/blue. That is just perfect and just made the plans pop out some more. Plus, hello ALL THE CUTE DOGGGOOOS!
All in all, this was perfect and I am so happy I got to read this one and that this book is now part of my collection. I would highly recommend it to all dog lovers everywhere.
