God Got a Dog
God Got a Dog | Cynthia Rylant
4 posts | 5 read | 4 to read
Newbery Medalist Cynthia Rylant and two-time Caldecott Honoree Marla Frazee imagine a God living among us in this spirited and moving collection of illustrated poems. What if God was living a human existence? What might God do to pass the time? Write a fan letter? Get a desk job? Make spaghetti? Take a bath? Get a dog? A sublime book for all ages, God Got a Dog celebrates the simple things in our world while taking a long, close look at what it means to be human. The soft, reflective, and often humorous words and pictures create a glimpse into everyday life through wide and wondering eyes that blends the familiar with the profoundly spiritual. These poems were originally published by HarperCollins without illustrations as part of a larger collection entitled God Went to Beauty School 2003.

This is an odd little book that I adore.

First published as "God Went to Beauty School," this illustrated 2nd version reorders the poems and portrays God as a woman in several poems, which works much better.

In this collection Rylant puts God in all sorts of human situations, and with Frazee's illustrations we see God in different human shapes and colors. Through the poems we see the beauty and wonder of the human experience.

kyraleseberg Cynthia Rylant is amazing and God Went to Beauty School is one of my favorites! (edited) 7y
BookInMyHands @kyraleseberg Have you seen the newer version? The illustrations are so perfect, and the reordering makes a better flow too. 7y
kathyellendavis Picked this one up used and I love it! I agree re: the illustrations. 7y
