A race between a dog and a strawberry

When a dog decides a strawberry is her rival, an ordinary moment with fruit becomes an improvised race around the living room. The strawberry stays put while the dog dashes and leaps, building the joke through the mismatch between her determined competition and her opponent’s stillness. The picture-book setup centers on playful make-believe and physical comedy, with the action reaching a messy interruption when Mom arrives. The contrast between an energetic dog and an entirely passive strawberry gives the story a simple, visual premise for young readers.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 who enjoy stories about dogs and other animals.
  • Young readers who like playful rivalries and silly physical comedy.

Book overview

A dog and a strawberry find themselves nose to stem in this hilarious picture book that's perfect for dog lovers. An epic battle ensues--who will come out on top?

A PUBLISHERS WEEKLY BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR


Welcome to the Greatest Race of All Time!
Give it up for our reigning champion, the one-and-only DOG!
And let's have a hand for her opponent: the formidable STRAW-BER-RYYYY!

When Dog is handed a strawberry from the fruit bowl, she sizes it up, dances around it, and decides she is going to race the Strawberry--and win. She dashes left, then right, then--oh!-- over the couch in an attempt to outrun her opponent. Strawberry doesn't move, but that doesn't stop Dog from continuing the race. Eventually, it's neck-and-neck... until mom walks in to see what the fuss is about, and SPLAT!

Kids everywhere will recognize the rivalry at play here, and will laugh-out-loud at the bright, expressive illustrations and ridiculous scenarios from the award-winning creators of Cat Dog Dog.
