Some Dogs

The dogs in this bright, playful board book come in all shapes, colors, and sizes--but they don't let their differences keep them from having fun together. Every page turn reveals a new layer to Lydia Nichol's adorable depiction of a busy dog park. A gentle introduction to diversity and acceptance, this rhyming story helps young children recognize that differences are often only skin deep.

This layered board book celebrates canine diversity through opposites like solid/spots and shaggy/sleek--teaching children that if dogs can recognize and accept their differences, people can too, according to School Library Journal.
