About the book:

In this hilarious dog book for kids, New York Times-bestselling author Chris Barton introduces social emotional learning and math concepts in a fun comics-style picture book format.

Humor and high-energy abound as a lovable bunch of dogs discover what they have in common during an action-packed day at the dog park.

An afternoon of mixing and matching is underway at the dog park as dogs gleefully discover the qualities that make them similar. Some love to play with balls, others prefer chasing squirrels. Some like wet food, others prefer kibble. Some like to wear sweaters, others to destroy them . . . As endless Venn diagrams of connection are shaped and reshaped, the dogs find that they may have more in common than they think!

Here's an entertaining comics-style picture book that will visually introduce kids ages 4 to 8 to math concepts, and encourage them to seek connections with their peers—even if they aren’t immediately visible.

About the author:

Chris Barton is the author of many beloved books for children including New York Times bestseller Shark Vs. Train, Sibert Honoree The Day-Glo Brothers, and three Texas Bluebonnet Award Master List books, one of which—Whoosh!—was celebrated on 20 other state lists as well.
