A gentle and funny child's-eye view of overcoming doubts and meeting a new pet (or friend).
At first the boy doesn't want to meet a friendly wagging dog at the park—"Go away, dog!" he says. But as the dog fetches, rolls over, shakes hands, and otherwise works all its doggy charms, the boy starts to open up. "You like me, don't you, you old dog?" Maybe they can be friends after all.
This My First I Can Read uses simple, repeating words, making it a good match for the youngest emergent readers. The classic story is now accompanied by appealing modern full-color art by Paul Meisel.
