Book Synopsis



This charming picture book, from the author-illustrator of The Rabbit Listened, follows an adorable stray puppy who exemplifies what it truly means to be a "good dog."

"Good Dog stole my heart. A satisfying tale of a stray dog who finds his person."--The New York Times Book Review

When a puppy in need of a friend follows a kind girl into town, he lands himself into all sorts of trouble. He gets lost. He's nearly run over. And he gets chased out of a bakery for being a "bad dog."

But when the pup and the girl reunite in the park and she leaves behind her favorite doll, the puppy has a chance to prove just what a good dog he really is!

This heartwarming story told with bold, beautiful illustrations and sparse text is a perfect read-aloud book and great for beginning readers.

Families who enjoyed Kelly DiPucchio's bestselling Gaston, Patrick McDonnell's lovable characters, and Mike Twohy's award-winning Oops, Pounce, Quick, Run! will fall in love with Cori Doerrfeld's Good Dog.



From the Back Cover



Happy dog. Smart dog. Loving dog. Stray dog.

Any dog can be a good dog--if you just give them a chance. This heartwarming story follows a dog in search of a friend and a girl who shows him the way home.
