Dogs demonstrating opposites, told in cute rhymes with even cuter knitted dogs. 

I'm a knitter and I loved Short Dog, Long dog so much. How clever was this knitter, to make all these different dogs doing so many different things? The little blanket, the jump roping dog, all fun knitting choices. Mostly actual things dogs do, but to keep the theme, they also played guitars, rode on scooters, read books and dressed up. All in all, dropping by the title to my local yarn shop - mildly disappointed it didn't come with patterns. Knitting community aside, I also think this is so cute and a child will enjoy all these opposite dogs as well. Recommending.
