Weiner dogs, weiner dogs, EVERYWHERE!

One "odd" dog goes on a little journey of self discovery and acceptance. Cute rhyming text.

This cute picture book is written in rhyming lines about the odd dog out — a dog that isn’t like everyone else. After leaving and trying out a new place, he quickly learns that every place has an odd dog out. He learns an important lesson on standing out and being proud of who you are! It will be a wonderful addition to discussions on identity and unique characteristics. The artist used pencil, some paper, a scanner, Photoshop CS5, a Wacom Tablet, and a Cintiq 6D Art Pen to create the digital illustrations for this book.

My son loved reading this book. His favourite part was at the end when all the dogs became themselves. Another great Rob Biddulph book

Charming, charming, charming. Odd Dog lives in a world where she does not fit in, and finally she heads out to find a new, more receptive environment to her quirks. When she does, though, Odd Dog finds she unexpectedly misses her old world.

An interesting take on creativity and one’s environment, with completely delightful illustrations. For anyone who has ever felt like an Odd Dog or who has wished to be one.

An empowering message about choosing to stand out from the crowd and feel pride at being different to everyone else. Excellent themes of self acceptance and becoming comfortable in your own skin- 'The Odd Dog Out' shows the reader that you do not have to be the same as everyone else to feel like you belong.
Biddulph employs lovely rhyming structure that flows beautifully and naturally, adding to the sense of different becoming the everyday.
