Description
On Lilypod Lane, everyone knows everything about everybody . . . or so they believe! When curious paperboy Weasel encounters his mysterious neighbor Roy on his route, he becomes convinced that Roy is actually a dog! But when his friend Pam Pam disagrees, Weasel must put on his detective cap and do his best sleuthing to reveal Roy's extraordinary secret, and prove that not everything is as it seems, once and for all!
An endearingly offbeat picture book that celebrates neighbors and neighborhoods, Roy Is Not a Dog delivers laughs and lessons about accepting others for who they are as well as the risks and rewards of showing your true self.

This is an adorable kids book and I'll definitely be purchasing it for my libraries! Is your neighbor a dog in disguise? Let's find out!
Darcy H, Bookseller
A newspaper delivery boy named Weasel thinks he knows everything that's going on in his quiet, but quirky neighborhood. Everything except for if the mysterious resident at the end of the street, Roy, is a dog or not!
Lovely smart writing and humor. The plot is simple and done very well, and the names (Weasel! Pam Pam!) are so joyous and strange. Feels like a breath of fresh air!!
