About This Book

Eight dogs hold a political meeting together to change the lives of dogs for their convenience. There are twenty-three amendments that go the dogs' way. Things may sound funny, but to us dogs, it's very true. At the end, we trick humans into giving us a steak.

Our Review

This clever canine constitution presents eight ambitious pups who gather to draft twenty-three amendments that would dramatically reshape human-dog relations in their favor. Through their political proceedings, these four-legged legislators establish everything from mandatory belly rub provisions to universal treat distribution systems, all while maintaining the facade of innocent doggy behavior. Young readers will delight in the absurd yet logical canine logic that transforms everyday dog needs into constitutional rights, creating a hilarious parallel government run entirely by pets. The narrative cleverly blends political satire with genuine dog psychology, showing how man's best friend might actually manipulate the system if given the chance.

What makes this political parody particularly engaging is how it subtly introduces young readers to constitutional concepts through familiar animal antics, making complex ideas about amendments and governance accessible and entertaining. The final steak-heist climax delivers a satisfying payoff that reinforces the book's theme of canine cleverness while keeping the tone lighthearted throughout. Middle grade readers who enjoy animal perspectives and political humor will find themselves both laughing and learning as these determined dogs negotiate their way to better living conditions. This imaginative take on animal rights and political processes will have children viewing their own pets with newfound suspicion and appreciation.
