Reviews

"A story that can be read as fable or lampoon of the doting dog owner…A cheerful valentine to family life and man’s best friend." —The New York Times

"Children will love this quirky story about a dog named Judy…The kids love it." —National Education Association

"The Dog Child is a very special picturebook that will prove to be of particular interest to young readers with canine companions of their own… This highly entertaining picturebook story for young readers is a welcome addition to the library picturebook shelves." —The Midwest Book Review, starred review

"The cartoonish illustrations have lots of vibrant color. Judy's feelings show on her face-her big, contented grin is one of the best parts of the book." —School Library Journal

"Intended simply for fun, this witty story has simple, colorful and endearing illustrations. For those who don’t own dogs, it might not be more than just a cute story for children, but for us poor fools who have opened up our hearts, homes, dinner tables and even the foot of the bed to our canine companions, there are some laugh-out-loud moments." —El Paso Scene

"RECOMMENDED NEW TITLE FOR CHILDREN!…The illustrations by Robledo are colorful and enchanting." —Tucson Citizen

"With whimsical illustrations and an eccentric story line, The Dog Child is a quirky and fun tale about just how much a dog can mean to a family, even as the family grows."—El Paso Inside & Out
