Classic

My mum used to read this to me and now I do the same to my son. He loves it too, guess it will continue going on from generation to generation

Simple early reader

Okay... not that simple. But simple enough for any kid with the bare basic proficiency :) Or, you could read it aloud to a younger child, that works too. My nieces (5 and 2.5) request this book often enough. I'm not sure what grabs them - the opposites, Fred's plain bad luck, the silly problem and solution at the end - but they do like it a lot.

A classic that withstands the test of time

Such a wonderful story with great rhythm, appealing pictures, characters, and story line, and a very memorable cast and ending. All the elements. One of my son's absolute favorites. The board book version is small and handy for diaper bag yet eliminates very little from the original. An excellent book.

One of my 2 yr old's favorites

My 2 1/2 yr old loves this book! It is a great bedtime read. It teaches opposites and colors, and it's one I don't mind reading over and over again. It also conveys that these two dogs are great friends, even though they have totally opposite preferences.

LOVE THIS BOOK

This was one of my favorites when I was a child, so I had to buy this for my dear daughter when I saw it. She loves to point at the two dogs and at the different things in the pictures.
