Synopsis
I love . . . the way you always care, the way you're always there . . . That's the way I love you.
A triumph of simplicity in words and pictures, it is impossible not to be moved by this story about a little girl with a big personality, and her long-suffering, much-loved dog.
Sharon Salluzzo - Children's Literature
A little pig-tailed girl reiterates what she "loves" about her dog. The straightforward text has been expanded through the appealing and expressive loose-style illustrations created in a soft palette and outlined in black crayon. From sharing treats to sharing secrets; from playtime to bath time to bedtime, this young child and her dog are inseparable. It is no wonder for their friendship is strong and true. Caring, understanding and "the way you're always there" are characteristics of this friendship, and certainly any friendship worth having. Children who have a dog or long for a dog will relate to this book. This is perfect for preschool storytimes about friends or dogs. 2004, Simon & Schuster, Ages 3 to 7.
