This is a REAL book! It says dogs can have donuts! If You Give A Dog A Donut is one of the "If you give a..." books. The first one was If You Give A Mouse A Cookie. They are all written by Laura Numeroff and illustrated by Felicia Bond. You can't go wrong with any book in this collection. The dog one is my favorite, of course.
These books are so fun to read because they are a circle story. So, the main character (Dog) starts with getting something (donut).
Then, the dog goes through a series of different events all stemming from the donut.
He even pretends he's a pirate!
Just when you think this tale could go on forever with all the tangents he has, the dog ends up back at the starting point...getting a donut. This is the best part of the story - finding out how the story circles back to the beginning.
Happy Reading!

ReplyDeleteAnd momma remembers those books from when she were little. Dey is real cute.
Lady knows the mouse, moose and pig stories, but not the dog one. She is gonna have to get it. The donut chain in Canada Tim Hortons apparently gives free Timbits (donut holes) to dogs. We don't know, we never go.
