Summary: Young children of preschool through kindergarten ages should enjoy this book of
poetry. Each of the short poems is about a specific breed of dog. Several breeds are covered in the
poems and the illustrations by Hyewon Yum are cute but realistic in that the depictions are true to
life. The poems are entertaining and describe real attributes about that breed of dog. For example,
"The Bulldog is lumpy and always looks grumpy. He's sweet, though, not cruel. He does like to
drool." Young children, especially those who love animals, will find the whimsical poems fun and
entertaining. And they may learn some fun facts about different breeds of dog. Recommended as
an additional selection.
Straight Talk for Librarians: This would work for a read aloud on the topics of dogs and poetry.
