Author Description

From Booklist Gr. 1. Young dog lovers will appreciate the sentiments expressed by the children in this book. One child thinks her dog is the best because he's small, another likes his dog because he's tall. One dog is shaggy, one is smooth. Another dog is a good protector, another does tricks. The simple words and sentence structure will push new readers along as will the engaging watercolors featuring a host of appealing pups. The final spread, at a dog show, makes clear that every dog owner thinks his or her pet is the best, "because he's mine!" Ilene Cooper
