There Once Was A Dog

Daddy, Daddy, tell me a story! There once was an alligator with only one foot . . .Not the alligator. Oh, no! I want the dog story instead. I’m afraid I don’t know that one. Children and parents alike will delight in this call and response picture book as Daddy (who doesn’t actually know the dog story) tries to satisfy his child with a story about every other animal—a lion, a pig, a hen, a rat, etc.—until inspiration strikes! João Vaz de Carvalho’s quirky and memorable illustrations add to the fun!
