Why are there not lots of four and five star reviews?! I don't even like dogs, and I found this utterly charming! Skitty has *such* a magnetic look" with her alluring eyes. And the reactions of the people, especially the toddler in the sailor suit, are priceless. Seriously, if you're a dog-lover, read this book, and then please alert me to your review."
I am not sure about this book because it seems like a real story about a special dog, who attracts food. However, some plots do not look real. For example, the brother climbs up tree to avoid the dog eating his cherry.
It is a good and cute picture book to read. Dogs and humans have a good relationship. Dogs are human best and honest friends.
Good to low elementary

This book is beautifully illustrated and wonderfully laid out. It gives a spin on the amount of food that a dog can eat. Everyone has a dog that loves to eat everything and this book is exactly that. The dog has such a big personality and I believe that this would be great for a child's imagination to be fueled by this imagery.
GENRE: Fantasy Fiction- I believe this to be a fantasy fiction book because it includes a dog that unrealistically vacuums food from other places into its mouth.
USE:
- I could use this book to show the personification of the dog.
- This book could be used to describe magnetism in a different way

A girl talks about how her dog attracts food, just like a magnet attracts metal. She tells funny stories about how her dog attracts all kinda of food. At the end, she says how her dog also attracts people. The pictures throughout this book add a lot to the story and could make a child laugh.
I thought this book was very cute and creative. We all know how pets can attract food and beg for food when we are eating. The drawings and rhymes were very cute. When reading to young children, I think having descriptive pictures makes it more creative for them. Genre: Fantasy
-I could use this book if some kids just got a new dog
-I could also use this book to help bond with other dog lovers

This book was very cute and easy to read. It was short and minimal writing considering the illustrations.
