  • "The rhymes are clever and succinct, and the simple line art incorporates photo elements that lend the right touch of surrealism...A funy, light introduction to all the mutts in young readers' futures." --Booklist

    "The exaggerated characteristics and expressions of Dodd's dogs are giggle-inducing, while jaunty type and digitally manipulated areas of texture amp up the text's inherent energy and the dogs' personalities...Plenty of fun for dog lovers." --PW

    "The artwork is a colorful creation of mixed media, and the collage of textures pops off the pages...This title is for dog lovers everywhere." --School Library Journal

    "Dodd's catchy text and handsome art make an appealing picture book for dog lovers (and those hoping to win a pet of their own)." --New York Times Book Review
