In fact, he eats much more than one thing that begins with each letter...and there are many more words on each page that begin with that letter (or that don't) that don't even have anything to do with what he ate! We find out that Roberta Rothschild is the President of the Rubber Band Society and that the Twinkle Twins have a dog named Twinky who does not eat their things...any many other random and silly facts! The ending is cute: it turns out that Pete eats so many ridiculous things because he really just doesn't want to eat his Zug Zug Dog Grub. Who would??  LDGardner | Jun 6, 2009 |  Pete eats everything under his nose, from shoes to yo-yos, homework to money. The only thing Pete will not eat is his Zug Zug Dog Grub. The book has so many things and objects on each page, it is also very colorful, which i think would be great for elementary students. I thought the book was so funny and Pete reminded me of my own puppy at home. This book would also be great for students who want to learn the alphabet. As a classroom extension i would bring a puppy from a shelter and teach it manners in front of the students. Have each student write a story about an experience with a pet like Pete. One day for a snack bring crunched up Zug Zug Dog Grub with oreos, peanut butter, and m&m's, etc. cbaughman524 | Feb 2, 2009 | Reading this book will make you laugh throughout! As with all of Kalman's books I've read, you notice more details in the art work each time you read it. I've read this one probably a hundred times and it never feels stale. Our family has adopted some of the lingo and refer to parts of the story in general conversations. A fun and refreshing take on the regular ABC books. (  ) DistractedLibrarian | Nov 4, 2008 | This book is told from a young child whose dog eats everything. This book incorporates all of the letters of the alphabet to create a cute story about a dog who eats to much for its own good. This book is very cute and I enjoyed reading it, however my only regards to reading this story is it is a little hard to read. The stories wording is hard to speak and I would be a little hesitant to read in front of a group. I would use this book for younger students to introduce the alphabet. For older students, which already now their alphabet very well, I would use this book for creative writing. After reading this book I would like to have the students write his or her own ABC book.
