Are You Ready for Me? (Sit! Stay!
Read!) by Claire Buchwald
Great Book Plus Good Checklist
“This easy-going book tells kids what they will have to do to turn their dog
into a happy and fun pet, and also how to care for it in the right way. It is a
useful and pleasant ‘reality check’ for all kids who are begging to have a
dog of their own.”—Stanley Coren, author of many dog books, including
How Dogs Think and Why Does My Dog Act That Way?
“A guide to responsible care and inspiring compassion and
understanding, this book will benefit all young readers—and all dogs.”—Dr.
Michael W. Fox, veterinarian, syndicated columnist, and author of many
dog books
Getting a dog can be a wonderful moment in a family’s life—or the
beginning of a bad situation for everyone. In Are You Ready for Me?,
engaging text and colorful pictures show two children at an animal

adoption center, trying to decide if they are prepared to care for a dog for
its entire life.
There’s a contract at the end of the book for parents and kids to check
off. An online kit is available to those who want more information about
living with a dog.

Personal Review: Are You Ready for Me? (Sit! Stay! Read!) by
Claire Buchwald
The message is clear about all the things a dog owner has to do, every
day, with cute pictures. The last page is a "contract" or agreement, with
specific items: food, water, walk, spay/neuter, etc. Place for parents and
kids to sign. Not breed-specific. Would be nice to have this page as a
tear-off tablet for every adoption!
