Alphie is a girl, Nini is her dog. One day they decide to swap lives for a day. Alphie naps in the dog bed until noon, takes a swim in the afternoon, and plays frisbee on the park. Nini goes to school, listens to the teacher, plays with friends and draws a picture. Everything is fine until it's time to eat - Alphie doesn't want to eat bones and Nini doesn't like vegetable - and then, when it's time to go . . . well, Nini can't use the bathroom and Alphie won't go outside, so time to swap back.
Hmm - the girl acting like her dog all day worked for me, but the dog at school, painting a picture etc? Too bizarre - especially as the dog wore glasses at school. I suppose there's humor there, but I think I'll pass on purchasing this one.
