Customer Reviews

Our copy is "dog-eared!"

My son received this for Christmas when he was 2 1/2 and asking for a dog of his own. After two years -- and his own dog -- it is still read several times a week. He chuckles at the animals wreaking havoc in the living room while Richard pines for a real dog. The pictures are just as entertaining as the text! I recommend this humorous book for all children, not just dog lovers, since the repetition and illustrations will captivate, and Richard's perseverance will be admired.

My Kindergartener Can't Get Enough of It!

My 5 year old son checks out many books from kindergarten to read and this has been the most read one he's brought home all year! The drawings are fun, the story line is simple and cute, and the repetitive pattern of the words are fun for him to say along with me as I read it to him. This would be a good learning to read book also as the type is large and you come across many of the same words on each page. It's also a book a parent can enjoy (and we don't even have a dog!)
