You? by Vladimir Radunsky

When I first opened this book what really stuck out to me was the pictures. To me it seems like they are sketched and it puts more emphasis on the descriptive words from the dog and the little girl. On each page there is a little girl and little dog separated by a fence at the park. The girl sees every dog and the dog sees every owner. They state their reasons why or why they shouldn't be with that particular dog or owner.

My favorite part of the book is when the dog is talking the author uses barking noises: yip, woof, arf, and bow wow then translates what the dog is saying. It's a very unique way to describe language. It's extremely exciting for children because that is what they actually hear instead of the words humans use.

Throughout the book I noticed that many words were used to describe why or why the owner or dog didn't belong to the little girl or the little dog wanting someone to love. But at the end of the story they both knew that the other one was the right one for them. Many words didn't need to be said to display their love for one another.
