Good Dog

Jeremy found this picture book today whilst rearranging our (many, many) books.  It's one I wrote and illustrated when I was in Prep, 22 years ago now.  (!!)  It's a cute keepsake from my childhood, and so I thought you might like to see it!

Good Dog.  by Elizabeth Clark

Once upon a time there was a good dog. name (sic)

She didn't chew the Mayor's pants or bark at 

Miss Barrett the teacher and she always ate 

up all her dinner and she never pulled at 

her leash.

One day she had puppies.

Her owners were very surprised.

When the puppies were older they got names.

One was called Barny, another was called Silky 

and her sister was called Milky.

At first they could not see.

Then when they were older they could see a little bit

Silky was as soft as silk

Milky was the colour of milk.

Barny liked to sleep in the barn.

The puppies liked to play together but

after awhile they got into fights.

So their mother had to get them apart

So they obeyed her and played nicely.
