This review is from: Bica, the Portuguese Water Dog (Paperback)

At the moment, this is my 3-year-old daughter's favorite bed time story. Or maybe she just likes it when I mimick the dog, as if I were shaking all the sand or water off of me. Relaxing, peaceful, and educational. I would even say realistic if the dog hadn't put on its sunglasses, or if its home inside the upside-down boat didn't include a TV.
