Have you ever owned a puppy? If you have, you'll understand this book completely. If you haven't, you may decide on a fish instead. In 14 poems, the authors capture the personalities of puppies perfectly.What I thought: Dog poems! How great is that? I'm a dog owner/lover and I loved this collection. My favorite poems are "No Name," "I Didn't Do It," "Big," "Pretty Puppy," "She Flies," and "Puppy Dreams." The illustrations are lovely, so realistic. I love the soft lines and colors. My favorite illustrations are "Shh...I'm Here," "No Name," "What Did I Do?," and "She Flies."Story Time Themes: Dogs, Baby Animals Not a dog person, not a poetry person. And yet... if a puppy could tell you what he is thinking, I think it would have to come out as poetry, little fragmenty thoughts full of nouns - sweater, vacuum cleaner, food, paws - and wriggly verbs. Katy Schneider's paintings that accompany the poems are marvelous. Brushy and painterly, expressive and muscular. That puppy on the cover staring up at you - gosh, even an old sourpuss like me can't resist that pup!
