Meet Dave

Meet Dave, the lovable dog with a heart of gold. When Grammy bakes delicious cookies for Caroline's birthday, Dave forgets his manners for a minute and takes one from the counter. Now, the big question is, will Grammy let Dave have his coveted treat? Dive into this tail-wagging adventure to find out!

Meet Joy

Former sixth-grade teacher Joy Good debuts with Dave Asks Permission, featuring her ultra-smart granddog Dave. This vivid picture book not only teaches kids about integrity but also introduces a unique narrative style. When she's not writing, Joy is a certified mermaid, swim instructor, and NICU baby snuggler. She lives in Estero, Florida, with her partner, Keith.

Note to the Parent or Teacher

As a former English teacher, I struggled to find second-person narratives. In this book, the narrator refers to Dave as "you," offering a unique spin on this perspective. Initially written in first person, I found having an external human narrator telling Dave's story more compelling. Hope you enjoy this too!
