Editorial Reviews

PreS-Gr 2—A winning cast of fun-loving children cavorts with an assortment of equally engaging dogs in this rhyming tale. Describing how to show love to a favorite four-legged friend, the short, punchy lines beg to be read aloud, engaging listeners and moving the action right along. "Toss him a bone./Feed him some kibble./Or better yet, pizza./He'd sure like a nibble." The cartoon illustrations, rendered in black line and watercolors, pair perfectly with the text in their movement and energy and are sure to prompt many giggles. The pups' personalities come alive with the sparest of pen strokes. Sure to be well-loved and a little dog-eared itself, this book will combine perfectly with Emily Gravett's Dogs (S & S, 2010) for a surefire storyhour that will have kids howling.—Kathleen Finn, St. Francis Xavier School, Winooski, VT
