This book on its own is not particularly special, but the accompanying song on CD adds a lot of charm. The song is so fun and makes both children and adults giggle. ( )

I enjoyed "I Got Two Dogs." The story is a short simple book that focuses on describing the lives of John Lithgow's two dogs, Fanny and Blue. the story may be short, but it is very well written. The writing shines through its use of rhyme scheme. The way the book uses rhymes creates a song-like quality to the book. Its use of rhyming couplets like " Fanny is all White. Blues kind of gray. they never ever fight. And they never run away" works to create the verse for the book that is complemented by the books choral component of the repetition of the phrase "oh, there's nothing I'd trade for my Fanny and Blue." In addition to the excellent use of rhyme, the book also excels at pairing illustrations with the written text to emphasize and exaggerate some of the points made in the text. One example comes with the line " Chasing after squirrels is what they most enjoy." This line is paired with an illustration of Fanny and Blue chasing a mailman up a tree to exaggerate the extent in which the dogs love to chase squirrels, and it also gives the reader a visual clue that the dogs also chase the mailman even though that part is not explicitly said in the book. Overall the book is a very solid picture book that carries a simple message that all dogs are different, but people love them just the same. ( )

Putting aside the grammatical error in the title, a fun little book about, you guessed it, someone with two dogs. ( )
