Good Rosie!

‘Good Rosie!’ seeks a response from the reflected dog that she greets in her dog bowl each morning. She hopes a dog will woof in return to her call to the dog-shaped clouds. George wonders if a dog park visit might help. Will Rosie make friends?

There’s huge Maurice and his fluffy bunny. Tiny, jumpy Fifi wants to make friends too. How do you make friends? Rosie isn’t really certain!

‘Good Rosie!’ has a chapter book format, with the story told in segments. The dialogue is included in speech bubbles. Harry Bliss’s photo realistic, empathetic images enhance Kate DiCamillo’s beautiful story. There is a lot unsaid within ‘Good Rosie!’ that demands a reader infers or considers meaning and themes. This is a strong, lovely picture story.
