This book
features a variety of dog breeds and very short two or four line poems about
them. The illustrations take place in a park and around a city.
I could see
students being interested in finding the poem about their favorite breed, or a
teacher using this as a jumping off point for writing a poem about your pet. I
am not much of a poetry fan but I think that young readers will be able to
handle the short length of these poems and the rhyming scheme. The artwork isn’t my favorite but all the
dogs and the people look happy, so it comes out very cheerful.
