A young boy talks his dog through the process of getting dressed: e.g., "You need just one more thing--a jacket. Good dog!" This sweet little book ends with a good gag: once his pet is dressed like a human, the boy dons a doggy costume. The flat gouache images, mainly in bold secondary hues, reinforce the warmth that permeates the text.
