Bill the Dog

Bill is a bad dog—his owner said so!—but what else can a bad dog be? In this whimsical picture book adventure, Bill the dog tries to tweet like a bird, meow like a cat, and growl like an alligator -- but soon discovers that being yourself is the best choice of all.

When Bill the dog and his doggy sidekick Fluffy take a romp through the house, everything is turned upside down. They wreck the living room, have a refreshing drink from the toilet, and then round out their romp with a lovely snooze on the bed... and that’s when they hear the voice! WHO DID THIS? Fluffy acts innocent and Bill takes the blame, getting told he is a bad dog. Bill is sent outside and begins to wonder if he’s actually bad at being a dog. And if he is, what else can a bad dog be? Bill tries being a bird. He tries being a cat. But neither of those work out well. What can Bill be if he’s not a dog?
