Overview
What does Dudley do all day while his people-family is out? Mom explains to young Max that Dudley does ordinary dog things: he eats, naps, guards the house, and plays with Buttercup, the cat-next-door. But in Max's mind, Dudley's day at home is anything but ordinary. In comical juxtapositions of art and text, the reader sees Dudley's activities as (mis)interpreted by Max, who imagines Dudley-and his sidekick Buttercup-in human terms. Eventually, Max wonders what Dudley thinks his humans do all day, and the reader is treated to a series of hysterical vignettes of Dudley imagining Max and Mom digging for bones, scratching themselves, chasing squirrels, and sniffing at a tree trunk. Painted digitally in a bright watercolor-and-pencil style with delightful details sprinkled throughout, kids will connect with inquisitive Max's endless questions, Mom's patient replies, fun-loving Dudley's antics, and capricious Buttercup's cat expressions. Whether Dudley's activities are real or imagined, Dudley's Day at Home is a delightful picture book with a loving friendship at its heart, great for both kids and adults, whether you have a dog or not.
