# Me & Dog - Hardcover

by **Gene Weingarten** (Author), **Eric Shansby** (Illustrator)

**This endearing friendship story about a boy and his dog from a Pulitzer Prize-winning writer gently explores a timeless question: who's really in charge?**

Meet Sid. He's an ordinary kid. He's far from perfect. But to Murphy, Sid's faithful dog, Sid is the whole world. Murphy thinks Sid is the absolute best--and that he's in charge of everything.

Sid loves Murphy right back, but he can't help but wonder what Murphy would think if he realized the truth: Sid's just a kid, and Murphy's just a dog, and neither one can control the world.

This deceptively simply picture book is the perfect start to a discussion about a subject seldom seen in children's books--the nonthreatening feel of a world based on fact and reason, and not faith.
