Customer Reviews

Torn cover.

Be on the watch, lately I’ve been getting books with torn pages.

Simple counting book

A very good, simple counting book for toddlers who love dogs and numbers!

Yes to all the doggy noises!

This is such a fun read for parents and small children of all ages! Making the loud or quit exclamations keeps everyone giggling. It has been read and loved so many times and is a first gift purchase for many of our friends with new babies!

Wrong book

I bought this book for my little brother since he loves dogs buy instead I got a book about horses.

Goes flawlessly with Flip Flop Spanish

I can't get over how well this line of books goes with the lessons laid out in Flip Flop Spanish: Ages 3-5: Level 1. I used this book after the chapter on counting, and of course my kids already knew the word for Dog, so it was just a wonderful reinforcer. What a FUN way to review! I'm already be recommending it to all my students, and plan to use it in my Spanish class for 3 and 4 year olds this week!

Hams required...

If you are incapable of letting loose and hamming it up for your child, DON'T buy this book! In the course of this book you are required to make a bunch of different dog noises. Actually, as you look at the dogs, and at how the different barks are spelled, your barks will surely evolve into very different barks, and this will leave your children howling with laughter. Caution: if someone else has already read this to your children numerous times, try to listen to them before you read it aloud, as your children will correct your barks! This is another of the Boynton books that is short enough to hold even the littlest guy's attention, and begs for interaction. Even children who are not yet speaking may find themselves howling at the moon with the doggies.This book is great for family collaborations. Different family members are sure to be better at differnt dog sounds.

Wonderful!

My 15 month old son has been "reading" this book since he was about 10 months old. He'll turn a page and read "woof, woof", he turns another page and reads, "aaaaaooooooooo". His delight in "reading" it himself is obvious. What a wonderful way to instill a love of reading in the very young!

Husband has it memorized & the dogs join in the fun...

We got this book for our 4 month old daughter and now, at 5 months, she starts kicking excitedly when she sees the book at bedtime. Our two dogs join in for the moonlit howl and I noticed the other day that my husband doesn't look at the book anymore when he is reciting it! "Book Time"is their time, but I can't help peeking in to see the smiles on my daughter's face when my husband reads her this book!

It really is hilarious!!!

My daughter loves to hear me read this book and I love to read it. It's a counting book that has ten different doggies with different barks. My daughter's favorite is doggie number three. He says ...nnn...nnn...nnn... We both die laughing every time we read it and we read it a lot. She is 20 months and I am 34.
