"What fun to get inside the mind of your dog! Get ready to bark." --Alice Hoffman, New York Times bestselling author of PRACTICAL MAGIC and editor of THE BEST DOG IN THE WORLD

"This pup's-eye view of life begins with a silky terrier (a ringer for the artist's dog, Tobi) making an assertion in the mirror: 'Today is going to be a good day.' An assortment of breeds-bulldog, dachshund, Dalmatian, and more-follow, expressing goals both optimistic ('I'm going to the big dog's dog park today') and naughty ('I will roll in something stinky'). A good day, after all, depends on one's perspective.

"The picture book is as sweet as it is simple, following Aurora around her new city as she demonstrates the words Nena knows in Spanish . . . this makes an excellent addition for young readers practicing reading, and even for those newly learning English or picking up Spanish terms." --The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books on MY DOG JUST SPEAKS SPANISH

"This book gently explores the idea of second-language acquisition, children who translate for others, and code switching, suggesting patience with those who learn at different speeds . . .
