About The Book
A heartwarming Christmas board book that lets little ones experience the magic of the holidays through the curious eyes of a lovable family dog.
Christmas looks very different when you're a dog. Why is there a tree inside the house? Why are shiny ornaments hanging where they can't be chased? And why does everyone keep telling Dog not to fetch the decorations?
As Christmas approaches, Dog notices exciting new sights, smells, and surprises around every corner. With Baby happily exploring beside him, every holiday tradition becomes a delightful new adventure filled with curiosity, laughter, and family love. From decorating the tree to welcoming friends and celebrating together, Dog discovers what makes Christmas so special.
Filled with playful humor, simple read-aloud text, and Natalie Nelson's charming collage illustrations, this delightful board book captures the excitement of experiencing holiday traditions for the very first time. Perfect for babies, toddlers, dog lovers, and families looking to build meaningful Christmas reading traditions, this festive board book is one you'll reach for year after year.
Experience the holidays through Dog's eyes and make Christmas reading a treasured family tradition.
