Big Dog and Little Dog Wearing Sweaters

These two pooches will steal your heart. Drawn with just a few bold lines each, Big Dog and Little Dog are easy to identify and full of character. They’re utterly charming, even when they get into trouble — which happens in every title of the four-book series. You’ll find just one sentence per page, so you can move through quickly or pause to admire the dogs’ sweaters or chat about dogs you know that act like the book’s characters. You can use the plot to help develop your child’s sense of empathy, too. Try this, for example: “Big Dog is sad. How come? Would you be sad if you didn’t have your own sweater?” (1 and 2 year-olds)
