Could I Please Have a Dog?

Well, Monday was a blurry fuzz;

It left me in a fog.

Sore and sad, I asked my dad,

"Could I please have a dog?"

This is a story of a boy, a dream, and the worst day ever. But mostly, it's a story about optimism. Written with meter and rhyme, wit and whimsy, this delightful book by poet Marshall Silverman will have children and parents alike rolling over with laughter.
