The Quiet Dog by Jan Yager, Mitzi Lyman (illustrator)

Bing may not fit your stereotypical dog that likes to bark but he finds his own special way to distinguish himself.

The quiet dog


Bing is a quiet dog, unlike the other dogs who like to bark, but Sam loves his dog anyway. In this illustrated story, something happens that shows that being quiet doesn’t stop Bing from being understood when it counted. This story helps children appreciate how we are all unique. On the last page, there are follow-up questions to ask as well as suggestions for additional books to read.

Praise for THE QUIET DOG:
“THE QUIET DOG is an excellent book that will encourage children to take a journey with the quiet dog, Bing, who is aware of what all of us should be listening for in our busy, loud, world. Thank you for this book and its quiet hero.”—Jackie Atkinson, parent and entrepreneur


"We got the book for our two-year-old and she makes us read it to her almost every other night. It is a very cute, short book and the illustrations are nice. "
--Russell D. Bernstein, parent and author


Sample text:

Although most dogs bark 

And do it so loud 

That neighbors may cover their ears

Bing is a quiet dog

Whose silence surprises,

And sets him apart from his peers.
