Summary

A #1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A PBS News Hour Best Book of the Year

Two-time Caldecott Medalist Sophie Blackall’s follow-up to her bestselling If I Was a Horse explores the challenges of first friendships through imaginative play.


If we were dogs, what kind would we be?
I’d be a big dog! And you’d be little dog.
Woof!
 
Join two friends as they bark and growl, woof and howl—and maybe even quack—in a romp that makes room for everybody’s ideas.  
 
Sophie Blackall unleashes a marvelous game of pretend that explores navigating friendship and celebrates boundless imagination in this wonderful companion for her national bestseller If I Was a Horse
“Blackall’s impeccably detailed, highly expressive illustrations add heart and humor to this tale about the endless paw-sibilities of pretend play—and the importance of speaking up for oneself.” The Horn Book (starred review)
 
“My favorite picture book this year … Parents love reading [If We Were Dogs] to children. The children are going crazy for this book.” —Ann Patchett, award-winning author and owner of Parnassus Books, TN
 
“Perfect for every underdog who wants to have a say.” Kirkus Reviews
