My Dog Red

Well Friday night was right-all-right, And I was feeling fine.Dad and Mom had dropped a bomb: A dog would soon be mine!

When a little boy's parents finally agree to get him a canine companion, he soon discovers that owning a pup is anything but a walk in the dog park. After a day of discovery and more than a paw-full of mishaps, the pair form the type of unbreakable bond that can only be found between a boy and his dog. Written with meter and rhyme, wit and whimsy by poet Marshall Silverman-author of the award-winning Can I Please Have a Dog?-this delightful doggy "tail" will have children and parents alike rolling over with laughter.
