나는 누구일까요?
아침에 일어나면 늘어지게 기지개를 켜면서 하루를 시작합니다. 아침마다 마당에 있는 신문을 가져오고, 줄을 잡아당기는 것을 좋아하며, 줄을 빼았기는 것을 싫어 하지요. 차에 타면 열린 창문으로 바람을 맞는 것을 좋아하고, 오줌을 눌 때는 나무에다 실례하지요. 낮잠을 자는 것을 좋아하고, 잠을 깨우면 으르렁거립니다. 공을 던지면 열심히 쫓아가서 잡는 것을 좋아하고, 간식을 먹는 것을 좋아하며, 방귀를 뀌면 마치 다른 사람이 그랬다는 듯이 주위를 두리번거립니다. 만일 한 밤에 집 안에서 이상한 소리가 들리면 무슨 일이 있는지 알아보기 위해 바로 달려갑니다. 가족에게 충실하고, 자신이 가장 좋은 가족과 함께 살고 있다고 생각합니다....
아빠를 불경스럽게도 개와 비교하면서 수많은 공통점을 유머러스하게 보여줍니다만, 아빠와 가족은 서로를 사랑하고 지켜주는 존재라는 것을 깨닫게 해주는 책입니다.

Book Description
Dad pretends to be human, but the kids know otherwise. Between first-thing-in-the morning scratching, fetching the paper, snacking, lying around for hours, and even the occasional pit stop behind a tree, the evidence is clear. But so are their father’s steadfast love and loyalty. Aren’t those the best things about dads and dogs alike? Elizabeth Bluemle’s amusing, affectionate text and Randy Cecil’s delightful illustrations create the ultimate tribute to proud papas everywhere - an irresistible story readers will beg for again and again.
Publishers Weekly
My father pretends to be human, but I know he is really a dog," begins bookseller Bluemle's appealingly flippant debut. Backing up her assertion, the girl narrator explains that, like her dog, her father fetches the newspaper, likes to ride in the car with the breeze on his face, and "growls when you startle him out of a nap." A couple of manners-bending comparisons will elicit snickers from kids, as parent and pooch (discreetly) use a tree "for a quick pit stop" and the two sit on the couch looking deceptively nonchalant as the youngster notes, "When he toots, he looks around the room like someone else did it." Depicting these human and canine characters in various parallel positions, the art comically captures the similarities between man and pet. Cecil (And Here's to You!) nicely alters the pacing with oval-shaped illustrations that give way to full-bleed spreads (e.g., for "If you throw a ball, he'll chase after it," Dad and dog cover the backyard to make a catch), and his textured brushstrokes work effectively as blades of grass or as fibers on the couch. A final comment, which the girl makes while patting her father's head at bedtime, ends the book on a note at once sweet and sassy: "My father is loyal and thinks we're the best family in the world... which is good, 'cause Mom says we can keep him." Young dog lovers will lap this up.
Children's Literature
In this hilarious story, a young girl claims that her father is a dog living in a human form. She presents her argument with evidence. She bases her facts on her dad's activities during the day, which resemble the actions of a dog. The morning starts off with both the father and dog scratching themselves after waking up from a night's sleep. Both retrieve the morning newspaper before having breakfast. While in the car for a drive, the dog and father are enjoying the wind in their faces. The daughter even finds similarities when her dad is playing, snacking, and resting. The typical dog characteristics are transformed into what the father does, including a couple of bodily functions. The comical pictures add to the humor of the story with the dad and dog parallel in action and expression. There is a sweet ending as the day draws to a close when the daughter relates the final two traits her dad shares with a dog - faithfulness and loyalty.
School Library Journal
In this funny picture book, a young narrator shares her unusual concern: "My father pretends to be human, but I know he is really a dog." She goes on to list the undeniable evidence: he likes a good scratch, growls when he is suddenly awakened from a nap, and when he toots, he looks around as if someone else were responsible. The illustration of the girl peeking under the dining table to see if he is begging for treats offers a clever shift in perspective. The clean, yet warm oil paintings are the perfect accompaniment to the understated and almost deadpan delivery, and they enhance the humor of this doggone good tale. It's ideal for storytimes or one-on-one sharing.
Kirkus Reviews
The title, cover and opening sentence groom readers for this waggish tale. "My father pretends to be human, but I know he is really a dog. Consider the evidence." Dad starts the day with a good scratch; fetches the newspaper; likes the windows down in the car; has used a tree for a pit stop; growls when startled out of a nap; chases a ball; loves snacks; he looks innocent when he "toots"; and thinks "we're the best family in the world." That's a good thing, " 'cause Mom says we can keep him." The comical oil illustrations juxtapose dad and dog in synchronized behavior enacting each activity as they amusingly express the subtly underplayed scenes to a T. Even the typeface is called "SoupBone." Tail-wagging hilarity that's simply doggone funny-and a perfect Father's Day gift.
