Grady's biggest desire is to eat his people's food. Denied this, Grady wants to be a boy so all his food wishes can come true.
To his delight, Grady becomes a boy. Yes, he gets people's food, but a boy who acts like a dog just doesn't work out. Being human comes with responsibilities Grady didn't expect. He didn't expect his two adoring sisters to turn on him either. And he certainly didn't expect his family to replace him with another dog.
Beautifully illustrated in full color.

I received an ARC of the book in exchange of an honest review. My views are my own and in no way biased towards the author or publisher.
The Dog Who Wanted to be Human by Christina J Donato is an enchanting and delightful for children. It is perfect mix of humor, love and fantasy. Christina has masterfully created a book in the animal genre that kids will not only enjoy but most probably also insist to be read often. The book is a perfect family read for children with parents reading it aloud to them. My daughter enjoyed every page and every illustration of the book.
