Book Review: Really Important Stuff My Dog Has Taught Me

The author of Really Important Stuff My Dog Has Taught Me, Cynthia L. Copeland, is a best-selling author with her books selling over a million copies. Her works have been featured in The Oprah Magazine, Good Morning America, and more. After writing Really Important Stuff My Kids Have Taught Me, Cynthia realized that her lifelong love of dogs, and her two playful spaniels in particular, also had life lessons to teach her—so, she decided to compile a book full of simple but beautiful life lessons she learned from her spaniels. Each page has some type of lesson combined with an accompanying photo of the dog illustrating the lesson. For example, on one page, there is a picture of spaniels playing in the snow with the accompanying quote: “There’s no such thing as ‘bad’ weather.” The book does not consist of long texts but short sentences in large print followed by a picture. This makes it an easy read and something that even children will enjoy just for the pictures. Since its publication, this book has become a New York Times, Boston Globe, Los Angeles Times, and Indie Bestseller.
