A small ritual of anticipation

A dog’s repeated sits become the organizing rhythm of this picture book: each pause carries the possibility of a walk, while the words and images work in dialogue. The simple premise gives everyday dog behavior room for playful observation, bringing together waiting, attention, and the hope of heading outdoors. Its focus on a familiar exchange between dog and owner makes the ordinary business of getting ready for a stroll the book’s central subject.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young children interested in dogs and everyday animal behavior
  • Families who share life with a dog
  • Adults seeking a picture book about the anticipation of a walk

Book overview

How many times will a dog sit before standing up for good?

In A Dog Feels Like Sitting, Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award-winner Isol and acclaimed writer David Wapner invite readers to discover the quiet magic of waiting--together with a dog that feels like sitting.

This picture book playfully captures the eager, intermittent sits a dog takes to get its owner's attention before it can spring to life for a walk, blending humor and subtlety into a dialogue between words and images. Perfect for young readers--and anyone who has ever shared life with a dog--this story captures the rhythm of waiting, sitting, and hoping for that long-awaited stroll. With vibrant art and lyrical text, this tale invites readers of all ages to pause and discover beauty in the ordinary.
