If you like humorous dog books, you'll love this one! As they are leaving the house, a boy asks his mom, "What does Dudley do all day when we go out?" The boy sees everything they discuss in the car and at the grocery store from a child's perspective. "He eats" to the boy means flipping pancakes. The boy imagines "He naps" as sleeping in bed with a boy doll to cuddle with. As you can tell from the cover, the illustrations by Renee Andriani are perfect! On the way home the boy asks his mom "Do you think Dudley wonders what WE do all day?" The artwork shows people do what dogs do. I can imagine the giggles when kids see the dog's perspective of the boy and his mother sniffing tree trunks and burying bones. A delightful read! I won a copy of this book from Writers' Rumpus. So much fun!
