From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 4?Does anyone ever think about how dogs feel about fetching all those balls humans throw? Nichol does in her poem, "Lazy Dog": "My grievance is so very small/I'm tempted to forget it./But when it's you who threw the ball/Why must I go and get it?" This appealing collection of canine poetry is written entirely from a dog's point of view. Thus, the selections cover such subjects as fleas, rolling over, and a walk in the park. Many are joyous: "Dish and bowl/Dish and bowl/Do I love you?/Heart and soul!" Others require readers to think about the animal's perspective. Beha's lively cartoon illustrations are reminiscent of Quentin Blake's work. Their whimsical quality perfectly complements the humorous tone of the poems. Pair some of these rhymes with selections from Joanna Cole and Stephanie Calmenson's Give a Dog a Bone (Scholastic, 1996) or give equal time to felines with Nancy Larrick's Cats Are Cats (Philomel, 1988) or Myra Cohn Livingston's Cat Poems (Holiday, 1987). Children will find this doggie collection a delight, and will exercise their imaginations as they think about life through a dog's eyes.?Robin L. Gibson, Muskingum County Library System, Zanesville, OH
