What is The best dog ever about?
Max wishes he were a different dog: fluffier, cleverer, louder and better at following instructions. He cannot sit, heel, fetch or even come back when called. But Max’s owner loves him just as he is. As Max compares himself with other dogs, he begins to discover that being different can be wonderful. This playful rhyming picture book celebrates self-confidence, individuality and the special bond between children and their much-loved pets.
