Reviews

Cute pictures; frenetic, wild watercolors.

[Heather Russon]

If Dogs Had Wings is a beautiful picture book. The illustrator uses water colors to create a unique look to the pictures. It is about how what it would be like if dog's had wings. It's fun to read and it thinks outside the box. It could be good for what if situations and could be really fun to read to your own kids someday. I feel that it could be a good bed time story because after the dogs fly and travel, they come home to their family they love.
