What's that barking, yipping sound? It's not a dog.

A Mexican prairie dog may look like a dog, but it is certainly not a dog. This adorable mammal is actually part of the rodent family!

With Spanish vocabulary and a clever shapes concept, Not a Dog explores the life cycle of the Mexican prairie dog, the species' contribution to a healthy ecosystem, and the ways in which farming has destroyed their habitat and made them an endangered species.
