We Love You, Rosie!

Cynthia Rylant, illustrated by Linda Davick

Rosie is a busy family dog whose everyday activities are told in six short picture-book chapters. The children she lives with report on her doings as she plays, sleeps, and moves through pairs of opposites such as up and down, in and out, and here and there. The story follows a day in Rosie's life while using familiar dog behavior and the idea of opposites as part of its episodes.
