Reviews"A story that can be read as fable or lampoon of the doting dog owner…A cheerful valentine to family life and man's best friend." - The New York Times "Children will love this quirky story about a dog named Judy…The kids love it." - National Education Association "The Dog Child is a very special picturebook that will prove to be of particular interest to young readers with canine companions of their own… This highly entertaining picturebook story for young readers is a welcome addition to the library picturebook shelves." - The Midwest Book Review , starred review "The cartoonish illustrations have lots of vibrant color. Judy's feelings show on her face-her big, contented grin is one of the best parts of the book." - School Library Journal "Intended simply for fun, this witty story has simple, colorful and endearing illustrations. For those who don't own dogs, it might not be more than just a cute story for children, but for us poor fools who have opened up our hearts, homes, dinner tables and even the foot of the bed to our canine companions, there are some laugh-out-loud moments." - El Paso Scene "RECOMMENDED NEW TITLE FOR CHILDREN!…The illustrations by Robledo are colorful and enchanting." - Tucson Citizen "With whimsical illustrations and an eccentric story line, The Dog Child is a quirky and fun tale about just how much a dog can mean to a family, even as the family grows."- El Paso Inside & Out, "A story that can be read as fable or lampoon of the doting dog owner...A cheerful valentine to family life and man's best friend." -- The New York Times "Children will love this quirky story about a dog named Judy...The kids love it." -- National Education Association "The Dog Child is a very special picturebook that will prove to be of particular interest to young readers with canine companions of their own...

SynopsisHave you ever met people who think their dog is sooo wonderful? They talk about little Princess or Fido ALL the time. You wonder if they secretly think their dog is...a kid! Well, if you think they're weird, you haven't met Mr. and Mrs. McVitie. The McVities love their dog Judy so much, they long ago forgot that she's not human. They let her sleep between them in the bed, they sew little outfits for her, they take her photo at every opportunity. One day, they dress her up and send her to kindergarten. The McVities even have a birthday party for Judy and invite all the kids and their parents. Are the McVities out of their minds? the parents wonder. Do these people think this dog is a kid? At the party, they soon find out exactly what the McVities think-and it's even worse than they imagined: the McVities want Judy to blow out the candles! Judy saves the day with a birthday wish that changes their lives forever, and finally helps the McVities face reality. (Well, sort of). Simon Black teaches in the English department at Cal State LA. He is currently a writer on the animated show "Chico and Guapo", which debuts in October on MTV2 and features two Latino characters trying to make it in the music business. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife, two kids and dog named Judy.
