lots of different stories about dogs and what they are like and what they do.

This book is great. I loved that that their illustrations matched perfectly to the dog they were describing. They used multiple kinds of breeds for a variety. I liked the way they made some of the words bigger then the others for emphasis. They also used a smaller font for the human's voice at one point. I really liked that they were able to get across so many different dogs and behaviors.

I loved this book. It was so cute and really captured the life of a dog in my eyes. The way the words are on the pages draws my attention in, I love when books don't follow the guidelines because it makes the book the much more interesting.

Aw I picked up this book and of course the illustration of the dog had me hooked. I love the little stories of each dog especially of Mr. Beefy. Not only did I love the illustrations of these cute puppies but I love the typography where the word s wee big and bold and the tall was stretched taller then the text. Great book and I loved it!

I'm not a big fan of poetry, and unfortunately this book didn't have much that stood out for me. There were some cute pictures in it, but other than that, it just wasn't for me. I can't see myself reading this one again.

And once, Mr. Beefy ate a pie.

It's a dog's life. Filled with squeaky toys, mischief, and plenty of naps. Every dog has a tail to wag and a tale to tell. Patricia MacLachlan and Emily MacLachlan Charest asked this collection of canines to speak up with their own words, barks, and yips.
