Yes!

Doggy Dog IS a big cheese in MY book! Our daughter has loved this book since before birth, when we received it in a childbirth class. We started reading it then because we were entranced. At 14 months or so she started grabbing it off the shelf to bring it to us. At 15 months I heard her saying "NO!" emphatically over and over in the other room and came in to see her turning the pages of the book and "reading" it to herself. Since we read it with feeling, she caught on to the "No!" after "Doggy Dog, are you a big cheese?" and says it now whenever we ask the question. We LOVE Doggy Dog!!!!

Anything but flat.

What an amazingly colorful and funky book. We bought it for our three year old after exhausting "Charlie Parker Played Be-Bop", another great book by Raschka. He loved "Doggy Dog" immediately. Our 14 month old brings the book to us at least ten times a day demanding it be read to her. She is absolutely delighted with every page. We love it!

Five Woofs for Doggy Dog!

"Doggy Dog, you are not a footstool. You are not a potato." What a gem. My five month old girl laughs and laughs when I read this to her. It's great fun for the whole family.

Doggy Dog will make you laugh...

...no matter how old you are. Found this book quite by accident. Everyone I've read it to laughs to tears.
