Dog's Colorful Day: A Messy Story about Colors and Counting

by Emma Dodd

Book Overview

Dog starts off the day with one black spot on his ear. But it seems that wherever he goes, he runs, rolls, and trots right into colors. As he wanders around town, Dog collects spots made of red jam, blue paint, pink ice cream, and more. When he finally arrives back home, Dog has ten different colored spots. And then it's bath time for this colorful canine, who makes learning colors and numbers easy, messy, and fun!

Customer Reviews

Love the book, not a fan of the seller.

I bought Dog's Colorful Day as Very Good, and apparently that means there can be a tear on the cover.

A fun way to learn colors and counting

My three year old son STILL loves this book which we have been reading for over a year. He now counts to ten and knows all the colors. This book is enjoyable to read to him and I highly recommend it.

A hit with my 14 month old twins

My boys love to read and this is their current favorite. We can't read it enough and I enjoy it with them. Great for beginning to learn, colors and even some simple nouns like dog, bee and ball. I just bought it as a gift for several friends.

"Read Again..."

My almost 2 year old daughter has us read this book as often as possible, and she 'reads' it to herself. A great way to reinforce colors and numbers (through 10). And a fun book to read over... and over... and over again.

Delightful fun while learning

This is the most fun, interactive book I have seen that teaches both colors and counting at the same time. My 2 1/2 year old son loves to tell me how the spot got on the dog and finds his mishaps to be quite hilarious. Because it is so funny, he wants to read it again and again, which makes him practice counting on each page every time he reads the book. I highly recommend it for any child at the beginning stages of learning color and number concepts.

Messy was never so cute

A charming story about white dog and a messy day. Count the dots and count the spills.
