With a Dog Like That, a Kid Like Me (Picture Puffins) - Softcover
In the eyes of an imaginative boy, his dog becomes a seal when he is slick with soap, a billy goat when he chews the mail, a croc when he crouches beneath the table stalking a crumb, and other animals.

From School Library Journal:
PreSchool-Grade 2-A young boy imagines that his dog is a pony when he runs around the yard, "a Billy goat when he chews the mail (oh no, not again!)," a lion "when he guards the gate," a mole when he burrows under the couch pillows, etc. The exquisite illustrations are rendered with grease pencil and watercolor. Each spread shows the canine in a pose reminiscent of the featured animal and then changed into that creature. The pictures of the different stages of the pooch's transformation are particularly effective. The child proudly concludes, "And so, with a dog like that, a kid like me-can be anything I truly want to be." This fanciful book will captivate children.
