About the Author

Dorenda Doyle is a retired educator of thirty years, having taught business and computers at high school and college levels, writing curriculum for two state education departments and serving in administrative roles. (M.Ed., Secondary Education; B.S., Business Management.) She was even a zoo docent (volunteer educator) for a few years at the Birmingham (Alabama) Zoo.Her first published book, How I Learned to Like My Mom, was a Best-Selling memoir in six Amazon categories in 2022.Since retirement, her zeal for education & literacy have been enhanced with a passion for grandkids (8), animals, and travel. With three rescues of her own (Shadow, Murphy, and Taco), she supports and advocates for animal rescue in her spare time. It was the influence of these passions that created THE KID & THE DOG children's book series (4 books published in 2023), which has won one Book Cover award (AllAuthors.com), and the series was just awarded the coveted GOLD Mom's Choice Award.In addition to writing, Dorenda speaks, reads, and presents at a variety of venues, including schools, libraries, and civic, service and community organizations.Her photography hobby almost always includes pictures of grandkids and animals, usually together. Biking and hiking take up the rest of her free time, with week-long bicycling trips being a yearly indulgence. Her bucket list includes visiting all 63 National Parks and biking a "century" (100 miles in one day; so far, 77 is her best). She and her husband, Jimmy, travel as much as possible with the entire extended family of sixteen, including her 92-year-young mom-in-law. It's these adventures on which she will base her future children's chapter book series, Adventures With Grandma.

(M.Ed., Secondary Education; B.S., Business Management). She was even a Zoo Docent (volunteer educator) for a few years at the Birmingham Zoo (Alabama).

    What a great and simple way to introduce young readers to our complex English language. Words used out of context, in places they were never meant to be used, and that we actually understand—this is figurative language. Figuring out what these plays on words mean can make language a lot of fun.

    Dorenda Doyle has done it again with her book, "The Dog with The Kid." This charming story flips the usual roles, giving us a dog’s-eye view of life with a young boy—and the result is both heartwarming and hilarious.
    Narrated by the dog, the story has clever wordplay and dog-related humor that will have kids laughing out loud as the dog imagines himself as the true "owner" of the boy. Dorenda’s playful language is packed with phrases that both entertain and educate, making this book a fantastic tool for introducing children to new words in a fun way.
    What makes this book even more special is its grounding in real-life experiences with children and dogs, giving it a relatable, heartfelt touch.
    .Whether you're looking for a fun, educational book or a heartwarming adventure, this one’s a keeper.

    Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2023
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Grandmother, former teacher and animal lover, Dorenda Doyle has created another tongue-in-cheek story narrated by the dog. Based on true experiences with children and dogs, this book is fourth in the series exploring language and especially idioms. This book flips ownership to the dog owning the boy and all that en-"tails." Full of dog terms, this is a delightful read for all ages. I can't explain how happy I was to figure out the puzzle questions at the end of the book. Probably I was "pleased as punch!" Definitely buy this book for someone, it's a keeper Dorenda is donating 25% of her proceeds from this book to animal shelters in 2024.

    This author did it again with figurative language and fun! The illustrations are great and the words are funny. Kids will like the free use of idioms. I'm currently tutoring a fifth grader with these very idioms for his homework assignments. I can't wait to show him this book which will reinforce what the teacher is teaching. Victoria Smith

    This author has done it again! I had no idea how many figurative language had "dog" in them and was glad there was a sheet at the end of the book. I didn't know what "hangdog look" was! You truly learn (at least) one thing every day. Also, I immediately got some inspiration for my extended day classes. I cannot wait for the next read!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Can a dog teach a kid new tricks?
    Reviewed in Canada on October 15, 2023
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    This is a delightful book which I think will appeal to early readers and read-to's. Using figurative language, the dog tells how he tried to teach his young master various activities. These include chasing squirrels and going for a walk without a leash. Because, as the book says, kids are a dog's best friend.

    The wonderful illustrations bring the easy-to-read text to life. And the explanations at the back of figurative language used in the book definitely taught me a thing or two. Plus, a portion of the book's sales will be donated to various humane societies, a very worthy cause. All-in-all another fun and educational installment in the kid and dog series.
