Description
On a gloomy, dripping, rain-boots-required kind of day, Kid is ready to stay inside, warm and dry, and play video games. But to Dog, Kids arrival home means only one thing: its time for WALKIES!
Outside, rain means puddles to splash in, mud to splock in! Tiny ears perked up, tail a-waggling with joy, Dog bounds through the park, Kid in tow. Playful action sequences, bold facial expressions, and vivid illustrations all drive this wordless tale, transforming a dreary afternoon into a boisterous adventure.
While at first doubtful about the experience, Kids attitude brightens, buoyed by Dogs playful antics and the surprises and wonder to be found outdoors. Before long, thanks to Dogs positive energy, Kid doesnt think its such a bad day after all. In fact, it might just be the best!
Filled with adorable, exuberant scenes any dog owner knows well, this playful romp is sure to brighten the day of many a young reader, pet owner and non-pet owner alike.
