Simple plea by a dog for his mistress to get him a bone.

This is a story about the things a dog would do for a bone. “I’ll stay by your side, no more will I roam.” “I’ll treat like a queen on a throne.” Young children will relate with all the exaggerated promises made by the dog to its mistress. It gives the point of view of the dog and how it desperately wants a bone. It’s great for a read out loud and has simple rhyming text.

"A Dog Needs a Bone!" by Audrey Wood is a wonderful little story about a dog who will do anything to get a bone from his Mistress. The book is presented from the dog's poing of view- begging, making mischief, and ready to take a nap in Mistress's bed. Great book for children with dogs who wonder what they do all day when left alone!

This is book all about a dog who wants his mistress to give him a bone. He tells her that he will not bother anything if she would just give him a bone. He wants something to chew on and instead of messing with things around the house, he will chew on the bone. The pictures in this book are big and simple. This book would be best for young children around the kindergarten age. ( )

"With good humor, Wood offers a rhyming text in which pooch begs his mistress for a bone...The large text and the simple vocabulary make this a picture book that young readers can manage on their own."
