"Carolyn Jackson successfully uses her skills as a journalist and nonfiction writer to teach children how to act and react safely with dogs…The gently coloured watercolour illustrations by France Brassard bring a joyful note of authenticity to the story."

Product Description
Six-year-old Maxine is dog crazy. She draws dogs, she has dogs on her T-shirts, she even drags home neighbors’ dogs in the hopes that her parents will let them stay. On a walk to the park with her big brother, Hugh, Maxine stops every time she sees a dog, hoping for a kiss or a tail-wag from the four-footed friends she adores. Hugh and some of the pet owners she meets along the way teach Maxine how to know when it is safe to approach, how to greet, and what to do to ensure a happy experience for both child and canine.
Whether they’re small or big dogs, working or guard dogs, old or young dogs, even aggressive dogs, Maxine learns how best to deal with each situation. And though she aches to have them all, she is about to find out that the best dog is her own dog — the squiggly surprise her parents have waiting for her.
Written so that young children can learn to “read” dog language, the veterinarian-approved information is presented in a charming storyline that is sure to appeal to young children.

A wonderful pick which educates as it entertains, May 8 2006
By Midwest Book Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: If I Had a Dog (Hardcover)
Six-year-old Maxine loves dogs, dreams of them, and wants one more than anything. She always stops for dogs on walks and loves to learn new facts from pet owner friends. If I Had A Dog covers these lessons so that young children can learn to 'read' dog language. Information embedded within the story if vet-approved information but presented in an easy style kids will readily absorb - particularly with the wonderful color drawings of France Brassard. A wonderful pick which educates as it entertains.
