![]() ![]() Looking through the book again, there is zero indication of either dog's gender, which I kind of like. One day, my three-year-old wandered in during the one-year-old's story time and pointed out that the daddy doggy was playing with the baby doggy. The point is, the book has grown on me, and I'm kind of fond of it.Īn aside: During the first few dozen times I read this, I unconsciously assumed the big dog was a mother, and I semi-conciously chose to view the little dog as a boy (since I was reading the book to a boy). Similarly, my one-year-old will now bring the book to me, asking me, in his nonverbal way, to read it. ![]() I no longer try for a tune and I know a cadence that flows. Likewise, my one-year-old would at first shake his head "no" when he saw me reach for this particular book (to be fair, he shakes his head "no" at everything, including food or toys that he is, at that very moment, accepting from me). The first couple times I tried to read this, it felt awkward, because I tried to sing it without any idea for a tune or a rhythm. ![]()
