Dogs
by Emily Gravett
Summary: Canines of every shape, size, and color are bounding through this
irresistible book from renowned author and illustrator Emily Gravett!
Can you choose one dog to love best of all? With delightfully playful
pencil and watercolor illustrations, readers will long to bark along
with the Chihuahua and tickle the Dalmatian’s tummy. The juxtaposition
of large and small dogs will teach children about opposites, and the
twist at the tail end will leave everyone laughing!
Thoughts: I might be a bit biased because I already loved Emily Gravett, but "Dogs" is a wonderfully, delightful book. Not only are the pictures beautiful, but there is some great vocabulary in the book for babies and toddlers. I tried this very simple story during my baby storytime last week, and it was a hit in both sessions (in fact, a mom asked to check it out because her daughter absolutely loves dogs!). The book is probably too simple for older kids but it's perfect for the younger ones.
