Customer Reviews

Weezer can change the world and you can too!

Weezer is a very cool dog! Not only can he count to ten (and even higher!), but he can also explain the law of gravity to Billy's class. As a puppy, Weezer was an ordinary dog, doing all the things puppies do, like chew on toys. But then one day "something striking happened" and Weezer was suddenly showing amazing abilities. In addition to his math skills, the talented dog was soon exhibiting other extraordinary skills, such as helping to avert natural disasters by predicting weather patterns and helping doctors find cures for diseases. Alas, eventually Weezer again had "something striking" happen and he grew ill. People all over the world, many who had been helped by Weezer, united to help the dog get better. People agreed to feed the hungry, keep the air clean and STOP fighting. Suddenly Weezer got better. Weezer Changes the World is a sweet story about how one person, or dog in this case, can change the world. It is a great lesson for youngsters to learn and with this gentle tale they'll see how their caring actions can improve the lives of others, one person at a time. The illustrations are simple and charming with lots of bright colors and smiling faces. Quill says: A great book to teach children about the importance of helping others.

Great, Simple, and easy to read story with a MESSAGE for us all!

I really enjoyed this book by David McPhail! Great story. Simple to read with my four year old who really enjoyed watching Weezer do all those amazing things! Mr. McPhail's illustrations are wonderful blend of cartoony realism done in nice pen/ ink and watercolor. Very beautiful. A nice compliment to the story. Well done Mr. McPhail, you've done it again!

Fun Book.

MY three boys (all under 4 yrs old) love this book about the dog Weezer who tries to help people and change the world. They also like the pictures and the part about the dog tinkling on the carpet. Great book to discuss with your children how they can help others around them.

It's a Weezer World

How cute is Weezer? Super cute. My 4 and 6 year old loved the illustrations. My 6 year old is in kindergarten and as a new reader loved being able to help read the simple text. It's not overwhelming because there is only a sentence or two on each page. The story is sweet, normal dog becomes extraordinary dog, does great things and becomes a world changing force. But leaves children knowing that they can make changes too, without needing to be 'a superhero'. Great book!

Touching and funny story with a message

WEEZER CHANGES THE WORLD is an ideal picture book. It captures the imagination of children and entertains adults. It is a funny, touching book with the message that good things can come in small packages, and that anybody can change the world if they try. This message is delivered in a subtle and entertaining manner. The story is interesting and can be compared to FLOWERS FOR ALGERNON in some respects. Highly recommended for children of all ages.
