I had the best of intentions to do a blog post on this book: That’s My Dog before I went out of town. However, I’m still getting my stuff together and now my dear daughter is crying. 
So, I will do this book justice with three activities on another day, but I want to tell you that if you have never checked it out, you must do so at the link below.
It is a book that will help children understand adjectives, how to make their writing more specific, word choice, superlatives and more. Plus, my daughter as a toddler LOVES DOGS–so even she can appreciate the book because she loves the illustrations and the simple text.
Go to your library, check out this book!

My daughter would probably add pesky, annoying and hyper to the list of words in the book. Try as she might, she just isn’t the biggest dog fan, unless it is one of the calm, older sorts that doesn’t jump and have a lot of energy. I do think she’d like this book though!
