Customer Reviews

Still one of the very best

Although this early reader has been around for quite a while, it is still one of the very best out there for a beginning reader. As a book buyer for a children's book company and parent, I have found very few that are so appropriate for and loved by children and parents alike!

My First Book

I read this book by myself about 15 years ago when I was 5. I'm not quite sure how it stacks up against the rest of early child hood literature, but it will always have a special place in my mind as the first book that I was able to read by myself.

GREAT gift book for a new baby...and for early reader

I give this book as a gift to all friends who have a new baby. I loved reading it to my son... it is the story of a new puppy and a boy from the puppy's perspective.A great book for a beginning reader!

A 5yr.old is able to read;great & funny storyline;we love it!

Many books easy enough for my kindergartener are not interesting. There is no story line. They focus on the words being simple only. This has easy words, yet a great storyline of life from a dog's view point and it is cute and funny. We read it over and over.There needs to be more of these kinds. Real stories inspire reading.
