My Dog is As Smelly As Dirty Socks: And Other Funny Family Portraits

Hanokh Piven (2007), 40 pages
Audience: Preschool - 3rd Grade
Category: Picture Books
A creative young girl draws a picture for her teacher. It's a typical family: Mom, Dad, big brother, baby brother, and the family dog. Although the teacher is quite complementary of the artwork, our student feels it doesn't describe enough how her family REALLY is. She designs a unique collage of each person. Her Mom, she explains, is as bright as the brightest light, and she shows us a light bulb. Her mom is also as tasty as a cookie, and a cookie is shown, no, a croissant - just that delicious! She goes on to describe her whole family in the same inventive manner, even how the dog smells. Can you guess?
