Books like How Do Dinosaurs Love Their Dogs?
By Jane Yolen
For the kid who begs to feed, walk, or brush the family dog, this book turns everyday pet care into a page full of towering, lovable dinosaurs doing the exact same chores. Silly, warm, and a little chaotic, with a gentle lesson tucked into the mess.
Giant dinosaurs show off their cat-owner skills — petting, feeding, playing with toys, and even cleaning the litter box — as they figure out how to keep a kitty happy.
A girl named Emily Elizabeth introduces her enormous red dog, Clifford, sharing the everyday activities they enjoy together and the ways they look after one another.
An adopted dog named Cooper refuses to act like a dog — he'd rather drive the family car, go to the ballet, and travel than fetch or sit — so his new family has to adjust to his quirky ways.
When alphabet soup goes straight to her brain, a family dog named Martha suddenly starts talking — and talking, and talking — until the day she stops.
A beloved dinosaur bakes cookies, helps old ladies cross the street, and plays with kids in town — while one boy, Reginald Von Hoobie-Doobie, insists she's scientifically extinct and shouldn't exist at all.
A bear wakes up from hibernation ravenous and thin, and as his forest friends bring him roots, berries, clover, and fish, his hunger keeps growing — until it's satisfied in a surprising way.
A forgetful house cat keeps muddling up her days — until a stranger sneaks into the family kitchen one night, and Mog's confusion turns out to matter more than anyone expected.
A young bear named Lucy finds a boy in the woods and, against her mother's warning that children make terrible pets, brings him home to keep as her very own — naming him Squeaker.
A boy drops his white mitten in the snow, and one by one a mole, a rabbit, a badger, and other woodland animals squeeze inside — each one bigger than the last — until a bear and a tiny mouse push things too far.
A costumed superhero girl and her Bug Squad friends volunteer at a dog-adoption fair, doing small jobs like brushing and feeding dogs until Lulu dreams up a plan to help every one of them find a home.
Three children and their pets meet up, becoming fast friends who play, squabble, laugh, and make up again, the way real friendships actually go.
A gallery of towering, spike-tailed dinosaurs test their families' patience with messes and roaring fits, then show love in small ways — cleaning up, smiling instead of shouting, and hugging tight.
