Description
Timmy’s family might think he’s too old to misbehave, but Timmy is also the relative of wild wolves, the descendant of daring dingoes, the friend of fearless foxes, and the cousin of cunning coyotes. He’s seen other rambunctious dogs at the park, and in his wildest dreams, Timmy wonders: Why can’t he be a bad boy too?
The award-winning duo of Eric Walters and Eugenie Fernandes team up to bring Timmy’s dreams to life. Though Timmy fantasizes about acting out, at the end of the day, his love for his family helps him realize that he’d rather choose to be good.

Review Quotes
“Personal agency is not an uncommon theme in children’s books, but I don’t think I’ve seen it done this way before, and I really don’t think I’ve seen the words ‘choose to’ used in works for this age group. It’s a wonderful example of good picture book writing (not just any writing — it would not work without the pictures, you see!) Highly Recommended.”
