Book excerpt: Plum wants the perfect pet, but instead realizes she has the perfect dad in this charming and hilarious picture book that's great for father's day. Plum wants a pet. Plum's dad wants NO pets. So Plum, who never takes no for an answer, gets the only pet she can: a pet dad. Dad is a great pet--he loves playtime, tummy rubs, and scratches behind the ears.

Hilariously relatable and with ultra-cute art, Pet Dad is perfect for kids who love or want pets--or who already have the perfect parents to make up for it.

Download or read book Dog Dad written by Topher Brophy and published by Vertel Publishing. This book was released on 2022-10-18 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Topher Brophy will be donating all of his proceeds from the sale of Dog Dad to American Humane. Can dogs make us better humans? Can animal companionship really heal the world? In telling Topher Brophy's story, Dog Dad shows us emphatically that the answer to both questions is yes. Is there a cure for the "sad sickness? That's what Topher Brophy calls the feeling he has lived with as long as he can remember. As a lonely only child "on the spectrum," a shy high schooler cursed by acne, a college student working hard to be accepted as a "frat boy," and a young man traveling to exotic destinations in search of wisdom and inner peace, Topher never feels he belongs anywhere or to anything. Too shy to keep a friendship, he battles feelings of rejection and loneliness, always wondering why just living in the world, which seems easy for others, is so difficult for him. He tries various remedies, even becomes a sports freak in the hope that being strong will make him happy and get him "accepted." With barbells, ropes, bands, he works out morning till night to keep the sad sickness at bay—till an injury makes even that impossible. Nothing changes anything. The sad sickness is always there. Then Rosenberg comes into his life. Dog Dad tells how becoming a dog dad changes everything for Topher Brophy. How the companionship and love he receives from his shaggy puppy beget the companionship and love he can now give... and how that makes him feel, for the first time in his life, like he belongs in the world as it is. How Rosenberg connects him to a community of dog people and introduces him to a special person, the Dog Styler. How together, they create an Instagram sensation and a family—and dedicate both to the higher purpose of healing the world. This is no shaggy dog story. It really happened to Topher Brophy, and it can really happen to anyone.

Download or read book Me Dog written by Gene Weingarten and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-09-16 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This endearing friendship story about a boy and his dog from a Pulitzer Prize–winning writer gently explores a timeless question: who’s really in charge? Meet Sid. He’s an ordinary kid. He’s far from perfect. But to Murphy, Sid’s faithful dog, Sid is the whole world. Murphy thinks Sid is the absolute best—and that he’s in charge of everything. Sid loves Murphy right back, but he can’t help but wonder what Murphy would think if he realized the truth: Sid’s just a kid, and Murphy’s just a dog, and neither one can control the world. This deceptively simply picture book is the perfect start to a discussion about a subject seldom seen in children’s books—the nonthreatening feel of a world based on fact and reason, and not faith.

Download or read book The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time written by Mark Haddon and published by Anchor Canada. This book was released on 2009-02-24 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A bestselling modern classic—both poignant and funny—narrated by a fifteen year old autistic savant obsessed with Sherlock Holmes, this dazzling novel weaves together an old-fashioned mystery, a contemporary coming-of-age story, and a fascinating excursion into a mind incapable of processing emotions. Christopher John Francis Boone knows all the countries of the world and their capitals and every prime number up to 7,057. Although gifted with a superbly logical brain, Christopher is autistic. Everyday interactions and admonishments have little meaning for him. At fifteen, Christopher’s carefully constructed world falls apart when he finds his neighbour’s dog Wellington impaled on a garden fork, and he is initially blamed for the killing. Christopher decides that he will track down the real killer, and turns to his favourite fictional character, the impeccably logical Sherlock Holmes, for inspiration. But the investigation leads him down some unexpected paths and ultimately brings him face to face with the dissolution of his parents’ marriage. As Christopher tries to deal with the crisis within his own family, the narrative draws readers into the workings of Christopher’s mind. And herein lies the key to the brilliance of Mark Haddon’s choice of narrator: The most wrenching of emotional moments are chronicled by a boy who cannot fathom emotions. The effect is dazzling, making for one of the freshest debut in years: a comedy, a tearjerker, a mystery story, a novel of exceptional literary merit that is great fun to read.

Book excerpt: My book is about my first dog I ever raised from a puppy. His name was Tippy, he had many adventures in his 17 years of life. And he lived two years longer than any other beagle we had. The rest lived to about 15 years. He may have made it even longer if he had not met his end by being hit by a car. He was the most beautiful beagle we ever had. And one of the most intelligent. His only draw back was he was a biter. But he never really bit anyone except our one neighbor boy who teased him all the time. So I feel it was well deserved.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the warmest, funniest, and most delightful Christmas stories ever—from Pulitzer Prize-winning author Dave Barry.

But there are problems everywhere. His fellow shepherds are misbehaving, which makes their director, Mrs. Elkins, yell at all of them; the girl he likes is playing Mary opposite a Joseph who is depressingly smart, athletic, and cute; the family dog is doing very poorly, and they have no idea what they’re going to tell Doug’s little sister, Becky, who’s playing one of the Host of Angels and who loves the dog more than anything; and his dad’s just gotten a flat tire, which means they might not even get to the pageant after all. But Christmas is a time of miracles. And for Doug and his family, this will be the most miraculous Christmas of all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nothing in Zach Stewart’s life has ever been as complicated as the sixth grade. Between preparing for the arrival of his new baby brother (otherwise known as “the little lizard”) and keeping up with the baseball team, Zach is being pulled in more directions than he can handle. The only thing he really wants is to adopt a new puppy, but his parents keep insisting that the timing just isn’t right. To Zach, it’s looking more and more like this new baby is going to bring nothing but trouble. That’s why Zach decides to do his final research project on the community animal shelter. If he proves how responsible he is with animals, there’s no way his parents will keep him from getting a puppy. Zach is certain that he’ll not only get the dog he wants but also prove to his baseball team that he’s the best choice for first pitcher. Everything seems to be going perfectly—until something happens that Zach could never have predicted. Audrey, a girl in his class with a tragic and secret past, suddenly disappears from her home without a trace. Zach knows he is the only one who can find Audrey and convince her to come home. He might have to put his new puppy and his baseball career on the line—but he might just learn something along the way.

Download or read book The Father of All Dad Guides written by Madeleine Davies and published by St. Martin's Griffin. This book was released on 2019-06-04 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A humorous gift book that introduces the different species of American fathers, from A to Z Of all the mammalian species of North America, few are as paradoxically mysterious and demanding of attention as the human father of the United States. Quiet yet steady in his affection and deafeningly loud when he’s mad, the American dad—as much as we love him—is a particularly exciting study, which is why we’ve created this guide as an aid for readers to identify themselves (if you happen to be a dad), their dads (if you happen to have a dad), dads on television (often a stand-in when your dad’s not around), and dads in the wild. In The Father of All Dad Guides: From A(doring) to Z(addy), you will learn how to identify fathers through: · Their markings. Some dads have mustaches. Others do not! · Dad calls. These include: “I’ll turn this car around right now” and “Can’t you ask your mom about that?” · Migration patterns. Why does Dad consistently ignore directions when he clearly doesn’t know where he is going? · Hibernation. Dads are tired all the time. · Defining characteristics. All dads are different, but they typically fall into at least one of the categories we’ve collected here. Is your dad obsessed with barbecuing? He might be a grill dad. Did he only really begin to see women as people deserving of political and social equality after he had daughters? That right there is the feminist dad!
