Here's What I Know So Far, Doc's Story
Written by Diane Till
Illustrated by Tom Schwartz
“Here’s What I Know So Far” is both the concept and the title of a new
book series that tells the first year in an animal’s life from a unique
point of view – that of the animal.
Doc’s Story begins on day ten of a mixed-breed pup’s life and moves
excitedly through his curious puppy milestones with humor and poignancy.
Doc shares what he knows so far in rhymed verse. His discoveries are
informative and entertaining, from his first visit to the vet to his
comical but shocked revelation: “You won’t believe the places where
you’re not supposed to pee.”
Each of Doc’s discoveries is accompanied with a bit of prose from Doc’s
vet, Dr. Tim. He gives the child (and the child’s parents) a
veterinarian’s perspective on the importance of puppy health, comfort,
training and, of course, love.
Doc’s Story helps a child understand why good parents sometimes have to
say “no,” and it helps parents realize the great importance of play.
Doc’s experiences include learning to walk on a leash and the joys of
rolling on a dead fish. They are often comical, as when he tells his
readers, “Of all the wonderful things to do, my absolute favorite is to
chew.”
Frank Gromling, Publisher, said, “We believe this series is a wholly
unique approach to picture books, in both content and illustration
technique. Doc’s discoveries inspire a dialogue between parent and
child. There is depth and humor in this series, as well as great
sophistication.” |
