I have a real fondness for this book, because it's the first story my son was able to understand. It's about two dogs, Big Dog and Little Dog. They become hungry, eat, and then curl up together to go to sleep. It's a very simple story, with very simple pictures, told in very simple language: "Big Dog is hungry...Little Dog is hungry, too...Big Dog is sleepy...." And therein lies its magic. It's so darn simple that a baby can understand it. My son was not quite one when I started reading it to him. I remember being so excited at the prospect of a real story after all those months of "naming" books. And when I realized he understood what was going on, it was heaven. Now my son is two and a half and has moved on, so to speak. (The book is probably best enjoyed by the under-two crowd.) But this book has become one of my standard baby gifts.

This is a sweet, simple book with little details babies love. We look at Little Dog's sweater, Big Dog's collar and tongue, the owner's boots and coffee. It has a slightly unexpected ending that makes my 18 month old laugh every time we read the book, which is about 18 times a day. I just mention the title and my little one giggles. I've bought the whole series now, and we're not disappointed.

This book is amazing! We checked it out from the library and it quickly became our favorite book so ordered it for my 18 month old for Christmas. She loves it and we read it before every nap and bedtime. Our 4 year old loves it too and will soon be reading it herself as the print is short and simple. Definitely recommend.

My 20 month old son who typically does not like me to read to him loves these series of books. He always picks it up and comes and sits in my lap for me to read it to him/

This is a great book for young ones interested in dogs. The illustrations are bold, the story is cute and shows cause and effect, and the book isn't too long (it's maybe 10 or 12 pages). In this story big dog and little dog are hungry, then they are sleepy, then they are lonely. It ends with "shhhh, big dog and little dog are sleeping" which my 3 year old son just loves to hear me say! It's a super cute book, so I bought two other Big Dog Little Dog books. You can't find these in book stores--so get them here.

I bought the whole set of these and my daughter could not get enough of them night after night. Very simple but the author brings out the characters of the big and little dogs beautifully. These are real gems.

Can't complain when the request is for an easy to read book that you can find different things every time to talk about. Sure by the 3rd time you want to say no let's pick another book to read but with these books you can find things in the pictures themselves to talk about. This not only makes you ok with reading it over and over again but also shows your child a whole new way to read a book.

I ordered all the big dog little dog books for my son and he loves them. Almost as much as my wife and I do... This one is good, but I would recommed the others more. They are all great for kids...

This is a very amusing short story with adorable illustrations. My son is one and he cannot sit still for a long story, at any time. He loves the pictures of the 'doggies' and the funny things that they do. We have a big dog and a little dog in our home so it is especially fitting. (Big dog goes to sleep on little dog's bed, and little dog sleeps on big dog's bed) This is one of a series of stories about the adventures of Big Dog and Little Dog, and they're all great. I suggest buying the entire series.
