Compare May I Pet Your Dog? by Stephanie Calmenson, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

Children encounter dogs wherever they go: in the park, on the sidewalk, at their friends' homes. Sometimes it's love at first sight, on both sides-but not always. The right way for a child to approach a dog to ensure that the first connection is a complete success begins with this question to the owner: 'May I pet your dog?' Using Harry the dachshund as a gentle guide, Stephanie Calmenson addresses this valuable yet overlooked topic with care and precision, and Jan Ormerod's warm illustrations portray a wide variety of breeds and personalities and depict situations that are realistic but never scary. Unique and straightforward, this is the essential guide to bringing children and dogs together-for kids and parents alike. | May I Pet Your Dog? by Stephanie Calmenson, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
