Bill the Dog

After being blamed for a household romp, Bill wonders whether he is bad at being a dog and experiments with being other animals. His attempts to tweet like a bird and meow like a cat give this picture-book adventure a playful way to explore identity and self-acceptance. The story also pairs Bill with his doggy sidekick Fluffy, whose role in the trouble leaves Bill taking the blame. Its central reassurance is that getting into trouble does not mean a dog is unloved.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 who enjoy humorous animal stories
  • Young readers interested in stories about identity and self-acceptance

Book overview

Bill is a bad dog--his owner said so!--but what else can a bad dog be? In this whimsical picture book adventure, Bill the dog tries to tweet like a bird, meow like a cat, and growl like an alligator -- but soon discovers that being yourself is the best choice of all.

When Bill the dog and his doggy sidekick Fluffy take a romp through the house, everything is turned upside down. They wreck the living room, have a refreshing drink from the toilet, and then round out their romp with a lovely snooze on the bed... and that's when they hear the voice! WHO DID THIS? Fluffy acts innocent and Bill takes the blame, getting told he is a bad dog. Bill is sent outside and begins to wonder if he's actually bad at being a dog. And if he is, what else can a bad dog be? Bill tries being a bird. He tries being a cat. But neither of those work out well. What can Bill be if he's not a dog?

Kids will find a loveable pup in Bill. Here's a funny, sweet reminder that just because we get in trouble, it doesn't mean we aren't loved.
