Bouncy, wriggly, waggy puppies. This celebration of puppies combines puppy-filled illustrations and a jaunty, rhyming text to make a perfect read aloud for young dog fans. Dachshunds, shepherds, Dalmatians, collies, poodles, terriers, hounds, mutts--puppies of all kinds populate these pages, running, rolling, chewing, hiding, fetching, tugging, pulling, chasing, and snuggling. In addition to pointing to favourite pups, youngster will enjoy searching out a particular puppy, who appears throughout, growing from newborn to proud parent of his own litter. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Bah, humbug.We're big fans of Ms. Meyers' earlier book, "Everywhere Babies," but this one was a big disappointment. The writing is simplistic and vacuous, and the artwork lacks the level of detail that made "Babies" so fascinating to read over the years. Plus, this puppy book is nauseatingly cutesy-wootsy (and I *like* cute books!) I'm sure there are lots of folks who'll love this book and get all puppy-wuppy over it, but it met with a pretty blank response in our household. (Axton) Rating: - 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, ...

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 ...

It can't be read without it causing smiles -- and from time to time, giggles. A joyous read! Rating: - The Perfect Puppy BookThis delightful puppy book is a joy to read! The language dances on your tongue, just like the lively puppies who romp through the pages. A perfect gift for anyone, child or adult, who has or is getting a puppy of their own. The book tells what it's like to have a puppy around the house...yet its charm is in the enthusiastic and caring portrayal of the pleasures of being a puppy and having puppies in your life. This is a book to read again and again....it will end up dogeared and loved for sure.
