Product Description Wouldn't it be fun to trade places with your pet? A little boy tries the idea on for size with the help of a multilayered outfit and an obliging black dog.
It’s time to get dressed! First the underpants - one paw, then two. It’s a challenge to put on a shirt lying down! A sweater is perfect for peekaboo, then there’s the pants and four socks, and - hold the kisses - the job’s almost done. With fresh, clear colors and flat, simple shapes, Lizi Boyd takes classic child’s play and gives it a funny, tail-wagging twist. Customer reviews Such a cute book by .. twobit foodie (Seattle, Wa)
This is a great book. My daughter loves it and remembered all the words and reads it to her little brother. Its very short and a easy read. Surly a keeper in our house for her younger brother when he is old enough. I wish she wrote more or a series on this one.

Product Description Two hot topics—male knitters and knits for dogs—come together in this one fabulous, fun volume! It’s a stand-out-from-the-crowd collection that features strong, colorful, and masculine designs that will appeal to men of all ages...plus companion items for their four-legged friends. The writing is informative, supportive, and humorous; crowd-pleasing images of well-dressed pooches with their sartorially splendid owners add to the entertainment. Geared toward knitters of all levels—but with an emphasis on intermediate and advanced techniques—the projects will wow readers. Imagine a quirky Rasta-inspired hat and a cool matching doggie jacket. Or a classic gray, cabled vest in merino wool and cashmere—one for him and one for Fido. Hit the town in a colorful patchwork pullover; matching saddlebags turn walk time into a fashionable outing. The projects are offered in a wide range of sizes to fit a variety of male and doggie body types—and, as an added feature, there are tips and anecdotes from more than a dozen male knitters. Customer reviews Men Who Knit and the Dogs that Love Them by .. Gerald W. Corbitt (Akron, OH USA)
Great book. Loved it. Many neat patterns for guys, as well for their four-legged pals, the dogs. An ideal book for any dude who knits. Entertaining to read, and easy to follow the various patterns and instructions.
New-Knitter Hubby Likes It  by .. S. Wussow (WI, USA)
My DH recently had knee surgery. To alleviate his boredom during recovery, I quickly taught him to knit, and ordered this book and The Knitting Man(ual): 20+ Projects for Guys to help him along (and keep him out of my organized knitting reference library!)
DH disliked The Knitting Man(ual) and considered the patterns "impractical." He didn't like its rolled-neck, -sleeved, -waisted sweater (tho' there's a similar one in this book), or one featuring a "too-wide" boat neck. He also didn't like The Knitting Man(ual)'s minimalist instructions. The other book was written by a woman, and DH felt it presented a limited view that all men who knit are of a single young, urban, artsy demographic. (I, however, am keeping that book for its top-down hat pattern, and its sock patterns, since it's already here.) DH did like its hiking sock pattern.
But THIS book - written by male and female knitters - really fueled DH's knitting frenzy. Although he would never wear the Rasta hat on the cover, he immediately considered making it without the curlicues. He loved many of the other designs, particularly the colorwork ones, and wondered out loud how they would look in such-and-such different colors.
DH found the instructions (including "Western," "Eastern," and "Combined" knitting techniques - i.e., English/German, Crossed, and Eastern Uncrossed) to be in-depth, easy to understand, and well-illustrated. Being a Combination knitter myself, I was glad this book presented such "open-minded" instructions from which a beginner could choose what happened to be most comfortable.
DH thinks the photos are good, and the designs are "practical" and "wearable," yet not ultra-conservative. He said the other book was "trying too hard to look cool" whereas this one showed realistic models in realistic - yet creative - clothing.
As he paged through it, DH stated that he would be comfortable wearing any of the designs (with some modifications) whereas he would only wear one or two things out of the other book. This book made him want to MAKE these items, too - as well as several items for our beloved rescue Doberman, Emma. He has several projects now in mental queue...
The only reason he gave this book four stars out of five is because he felt many of the patterns were high on the difficulty scale (multiple colors) for someone without a lot of knitting experience - yet those are the designs he likes the most, too. After looking at it, I (a more experienced knitter) feel it offers a very wide range of projects, from easy to thought-provoking. Annie Modesitt's authorship is evident.
The range of sizes for both humans and dogs is from XXS to XXXL (humans to XXXXL), with great measurement charts. There are brief instructions for using stitch markers, working from charts, increasing, decreasing, picking up stitches, cable cast-on, intarsia, double knitting, steeking, short rows, cabling without a cable needle, knitting a tube with two circular needles, i-cord, sewing in a zipper, seaming, and three-needle bind-off; there is also a knitting term glossary. The instruction illustrations are clear, as are the pattern charts.
Projects include: many differing human and dog sweaters, dog kerchief, dog toy, a dog bed, a dog "sofa," human toe-up socks, dog cuff-down mutt-luks, a dog treat bag (so handy for clicker training!), mitered dog blanket, human funky Fair Isle hat, double-knit hemp leash (for which DH is already planning to raid my stash), doggie saddlebags, a simple human scarf and hat, cabled vests for humans and dogs, and the Rasta items on the cover.
Both dog and human models are attractive and friendly looking. The presentation is excellent. I personally find some of these designs to be more "artsy" than the OTHER book (though I also like this one better), which just goes to show you: it is hard for a woman to choose a knitting pattern - or knitting BOOK - for a man. Best just to teach them to knit and let them make their own knitted items!
Even the introduction is witty and made DH laugh.
Great designs by .. T. Baysden (Bethel, OH United States)
I bought this book after seeing one of the hats on "Knitty Gritty" and was not disappointed. The designs are wearable and just beautiful, and instructions are clear and thoughtfully given. There are many sweater designs here that I will eventually knit up. Can't wait.
Something for all experience levels by .. Margaret Conklin (Michigan)
I love this book! It's as simple as that. I love the dogs (how did the photographer get them to do that?), I love to look at the handsome (the "take home to met the folks" type) male models, and most of all I love the patterns. There is something for every experience level, from small/easy dog toys to a sweater that incorporated cables AND fair isle, which will be my first project as soon as I finish my current project. (I can't wait) I've read a few tutorials in the front of a few knitting books in my time, and this one is very well written, with easy to understand sizing charts for men and for dogs, both of which can be hard to find.
You won't be disappointed.
A great one for your knitting library by .. Cheryl Perry ()
It is so hard to get decent knitting patterns for men --this book delivers. The doggie patterns are cute too.

Product Description When Grandpa's overalls run off, his family and neighbors try to catch them and then pitch in to do the work that Grandpa cannot do without his pants. Customer reviews Really funny... by .. E. R. Bailey (Brunswick, ME)
I grew up on a rural farm in an extended family of farmers, and I thought this book was absolutely hilarious. My 6 year old brought it home from the school library (after meeting the illustrator, Scott Nash) and I laughed so hard I went here and bought it.
If you don't mind a book written with a good 'ole southern dialect, this one is for you. (A good line from the book reads, "Grandpa was about ready to pop a stitch. "Never missed a day of work in my life," he said, "and I ain't about to now."")
It was really fun. And we had a good discussion about life on a farm, afterwards. My girls are ages 3 and 6, and they gave it two thumbs up. Educationally, I think it is good as well. It just might help them understand their great aunts and uncles better when we move back to closer to that farm. : )

Product Description Here's What I Know So Far is the title of a remarkable new series of children's picture books that tells about the first year in an animal's life from a unique point of view: that of the animal. The series is by Diane Till, designed and illustrated by Tom Schwartz. The first book in the series, Doc's Story, covers the milestones in the life of a mixed-breed pup, starting when he is ten days old. Doc's observations, as he tries to deal with the new and strange requests of his humans, are delivered in entertaining and often moving poetry. Accompanying each of Doc's discoveries is a comment from Doc's veterinarian, Dr. Tim Roberts. He explains in prose what the puppy is going through, as well as how to start training a pup to become a happy, confident dog. Doc's life, as seen from Doc's point of view, helps a child understand why good parents sometimes have to say 'no.' and it helps parents realize the great importance of play. Doc's experiences include learning to walk on a leash and a first visit to a vet. They are often comical, as when he tells readers, "You won't believe the places where you're not supposed to pee." Customer reviews An excellent starter book for teaching young people the basics by .. Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)
Here's What I Know So Far is a unique picturebook written to help young people better understand the responsibility of caring for a puppy. Each two-page spread discusses the realities of a puppy's life, both directly from the puppy's point of view ("Why walk when you can run? Walking on a leash is just no fun."), and from the sage perspective of a professional veterinarian ("Puppies know an 'I mean business' tone of voice when they hear it. Well, you do too, don't you?"). The abstract-style illustrations add a distinctive touch without being too distracting from the immersive wealth of information. An excellent starter book for teaching young people the basics of understanding how puppies think and how to properly train and care for them.
A darling book with lots of fun extra's by .. Bill Gould (Chicago & Moskow)
My cat Pino was outside rolling in the garden dirt the other day when he escaped from the house. I found out from the book why he does that. Ms. Till has put together a wonderful book. Doc's words are interesting to kids and adults, and the Vet's explainations the same. Very clever! ....and the Illustrations are FABULOUS! Dock is just the cutest puppy. I learned more things about animals from the book but I'll let you read it and find out for yourself.
The cover is STUNNINGly beautiful, and the illustrations truly incredible. I have it on my coffee table and bought two other copies for animal lover friends who adore the book. I certainly hope they, (Diane Till, Tom Schwartz and Dr. Tim Roberts), do produce more books on this style as they offered on the book jacket. The neighbor kids 6,10, and 16 loved it.
....Bill
Enjoyable & Educational by .. Barbara Barker (Florida)
Diane Till does a wonderful job with the idea of expressing a puppy's thoughts about its first year of life. It really does make you think
more from the perspective of the pup.
Though the book is educational, it is not preachy. Both my children, ages 9 and 13, read the book and giggled through most of it.
We bought an extra copy for the waiting room of our veterinary clinic. I really believe Till's book will be an excellent starting point for teaching children (and adults) how to train puppies.
A Lovable Puppy Teaches Kids and Parents Alike by .. Charlie Noble (Key West)
This book is the perfect answer to a parents prayer when children ask about having their first dog. It explains all of the many issues related to dog ownership in a simple straight forward manner that is easy for the kids to accept. The writing is wonderful and the illustrations are engaging. Adults will particularly appreciate the visual quality and intricacy of the festive art work as they watch kids pore over the pages. I am waiting for the next volume in what I hope will be a long series of animal stories for children.
Here's What I Know So Far by .. Bob (Washington)
Fabulous book. Our kids wanted a dog and I never had one. This helped me and the kids feel comfortable about going ahead. It's very well written for adults and children and the graphics and illustrations are simply marvelous. This is what making education fun is all about.
