“The Best Days Are Dog Days,” by author-illustrator Aaron Meshon, is a wonderful gift for a city kid. His charming, colorful pictures depict streets, a park, and a farmers market that are clearly inspired by Brooklyn.
The tale is told with very little text from the perspective of the pet bulldog, who shares his adventures with Sis, his human “sibling.” Meshon’s illustrations depict how much the pooch and Sis have in common. Recommended for readers ages 3 to 5, it inspired us to get outside and enjoy spring in the city!
