I am NOT a dog book

‘Okay, let’s get one thing straight before you even think about reading this book ... I am NOT a dog.

Look at me. I’m scrawny, and my coat is wiry. One of my ears is bigger than the other, and my fur is patchy all over. I itch everywhere ... always. I’m not strong or classy, fast or glossy, brave or clever, loud or tough. I’m not the same as the others. I can’t do what they do. I am NOT a dog.’

This is the story of a mixed-up mutt who can’t quite work out where he fits in between the Great Danes and the greyhounds, the Border collies and the bulldogs – and don’t even mention the marmalade cat ...!

Peter has created and illustrated a gorgeous book with a heartwarming, reassuring message about self-acceptance, punctuated with humor and full of personality! 'I am NOT a dog' encourages us to be ourselves, rather than comparing ourselves to others.  

Peter's unique illustrations bring this gorgeous picture book to life, and young and old will enjoy it. Details: Hardback// Publisher Gill Children's (27 August 2026)// Number of Pages32// Language: English// Dimensions: 300 x 250 mm
