One of the Most Anticipated Books of Fall 2024 — BookPage
"Spiegelman brings his charismatic illustration style to this wacky, metafictional picture book, which claims it’s not a book....Kids are sure to delight in how much Open Me . . . I’m a Dog commits to the bit: It even features fuzzy pages and a leash." — BookPage
"Uses clever word play and mixed media to encourage kids to have a hands-on experience with the book. The part that really shines is the quality of the illustrations....a great book to introduce to a toddler and bring out for story time." — The Tiny Bookstore
"A winning conceit, with ingenuous tongue-in-cheek illustrations." — Kirkus Reviews
"Thought-provoking...inviting...Seems likely to grab Gen X-ers...ticklish enough to ensnare kids too..." — Publishers Weekly
