If we were dogs, what kind would we be?
I’d be a big dog! And you’d be little dog.
Woof!
Join two friends as they bark and growl, woof and howl – and maybe even quack – in a romp that makes room for everybody’s ideas.
Sophie Blackall unleashes a marvelous game of pretend that explores navigating friendship and celebrates boundless imagination.
