What's Up, Pup?: How Our Furry Friends Communicate and What They Are Saying

Description

If you watch very closely . . . you'll see your pup talk! Dogs are communicating with us all the time-even without words, they can tell us that they want to play, get scritches, or say I love you! From sniffers and ears to muzzles and rears, from tail wags to tongue flicks and everything in between . . . what is your pup trying to say? This rollicking rhyming picture book by Kersten Hamilton, with lively illustrations from Lili Chin, explores all the ways that dogs express themselves, perfect for pup lovers of all ages.
