A floppy-eared dog and his pup treasure each other's company in anthropomorphic domestic scenes that every child will recognize.... The palette and technique of the acrylic illustrations are soft and rounded using broken lines and delicate highlights. They provide a warm and fuzzy feeling that adds to the theme of love between a parent and child. The lyrics to Dylan's 1970 song If Not for You are the text. VERDICT: Walker has done a fantastic job of interpreting Dylan's song for children. --School Library Journal, March 2016 Walker illustrates the 1970 Dylan tune with an adorable parent-child canine pair. Using minimal backgrounds and props to keep the focus on the relationship, Walker masterfully conveys emotions in his acrylic illustrations...the pictures are so poignant that parents could make up their own words. --Kirkus Reviews, March 2016
