May I Pet Your Dog?: The How-To Guide for Kids Meeting Dogs (and Dogs Meeting Kids)

Children encounter dogs everywhere: in parks, on sidewalks, and at friends’ homes. Sometimes, it’s love at first sight, but not always. To ensure a successful first connection, children should ask the dog’s owner, “May I pet your dog?”

Stephanie Calmenson, with Harry the dachshund as a guide, addresses this valuable topic with care and precision. Jan Ormerod’s warm illustrations portray various breeds and personalities in realistic but never scary situations. This unique and straightforward guide brings children and dogs together, teaching kids how to make for positive and friendly encounters with pups. This book was made for readers ages 4 to 7.
