I Have Feelings, Too by Anissa Svoboda is about how to understand what dogs are trying to communicate. The story is told from the viewpoint of a dog named Kaja, who says that dogs communicate with a combination of their voice and body language. Kaja takes readers on a neighborhood walk and uses interactions with other dogs to explain why they’re doing what they are doing. She also periodically asks questions of readers. Throughout the book, there are double pawprints, which identify the “Parent’s Corner” and contain additional ideas for dog owners and others who are caring for dogs. The book ends with a “Discussion and Comprehension” page, which asks more questions about canine communication. There is also a summary of the seven dog breeds that are found in the book.

I Have Feelings, Too by Anissa Svoboda is a marvelous book. It’s both entertaining and educational. I learned a lot about dogs’ communication skills by reading the book. I liked the interactive nature. I also liked the advice on how children should talk to and touch dogs. The combination of writing from the dog’s viewpoint and getting readers involved by asking questions is very effective. This excellent information could save children from a potentially dangerous encounter with a dog. I know my children would have been captivated by this book when they were young and would have wanted it read to them, and later read it themselves, over and over. The illustrations by Aneta Knoppová are wonderful and perfectly match the text. I highly recommend this delightful and informative book to children, their parents, and their grandparents.

I Have Feelings, Too: Understanding Dog Communication by Anissa Svoboda is a must-have children's picture book that teaches young readers about how dogs communicate. This book follows Kaja, a Springer Spaniel, who shows her feelings through her body language rather than words. Kaja has many dog friends. She says that every dog communicates in their own unique way and that she knows how her friends feel through their body language. Kids can follow Kaja on a walk around her neighborhood to meet Bear, Tee, Lucky, Luna, Ruby, and Rusty and learn how they communicate with their eyes, ears, tail, tongue, fur, paws, and body. This book also offers tips for parents and caregivers to help children interact more effectively with dogs.

I highly recommend  I Have Feelings, Too: Understanding Dog Communication. It teaches you how to pet a dog gently, what it means when a dog wags its tail or puts its tail between its legs, how dogs show their dislike of certain types of human touch, what a growl can mean, and how to react to it, among other things.
