Wendy Wahman, Don't Lick the Dog: Making Friends With Dogs

event image Time: Tuesday, April 28, 2009 7:00 p.m.
Location: Secret Garden Bookshop


Welcome to Ultimate Tuesdays!

What is Ultimate Tuesdays?

The first definition of the word ultimate on dictionary.com is "last". So, Ultimate Tuesdays is just a fancy way of saying Last Tuesdays. It means a special kind of story time. A story time where the reader is the author or the illustrator. (in this case, it means that person is both!) It means parting gifts for everyone who comes! It means fun, so don't miss it!

We're very excited about this month's author/illustrator, Wendy Wahman. Because we LOVE her book!

Her website/blog can be found here.

A Seattle Post-Intelligencer article about Wendy and her book can be found here.

Meeting a new dog is exciting, but it can also be scary. This humorous how-to manual shows kids the best ways to interact with unfamiliar dogs, providing helpful tips about all sorts of dog behavior. Children often don't understand what dogs' actions mean and can misinterpret a threatening signal for a friendly one and vice versa. Kids and parents will return to Wendy Wahman's playful illustrations again and again for useful reminders: Slow Down. Stay very still. And remember, don't lick the dog
