Cute book

Very cute book! The first time I read this book from the library, I knew I wanted it for my girls. They love it and so do I! Cute content and illustrations too!

Fun! Fun! Fun!

There is a lot in this book which makes it ideal for preschool and early primary grade school children. - The art is interesting, uncluttered and full of action. - Although not every picture is a two page spread, many of them are which provides a large picture easy to see if you are little and sitting in a group of peers. - The book is full of interesting, and perhaps new, verbs in sentences that help put the word in context. ie: Tumbling, wrestling, racing puppies, Tugging, chewing, chasing puppies. - The book is written in rhyme and with rhythm, making it a fun chant that moves along at a happy pace (much like puppies). - At regular intervals the text has a refrain, "Here and there and everywhere, Puppies! Puppies! Puppies!" You will only have to say the refrain twice before young readers with "read" along with you. They LOVE to do this. - Almost everyone finds puppies interesting.

Great read aloud

Puppies not just being cute and perfect--also making puddles on the floor, chewing people's stuff, licking each other's earwax--will encourage readers to reread this one, looking at the huge variety of puppies in the vibrant vivacious illustrations. This would make a nice anchor for a readers-unit on puppy books for first or second grades. Always a good prompt for eager young writers, puppies as portrayed in this lively book will stimulate strong writing in classrooms as well as become a favorite read aloud in which children can participate.

Delightful!

A delight for children -- and all others who love dogs. In just-right rhymes, Susan Meyers has captured a puppy's life -- as well as that of the puppy's owner. It can't be read without it causing smiles -- and from time to time, giggles. A joyous read!
