The story is about a golden retriever who tries to be good, but can't help getting into mischief along the way...what child can't relate to that!? This book sparked so many ideas and conversationsin my preschool class, the children were excited about it for weeks. The illustrations by Ted rand are wonderful.

What a charming book! A young golden retriever tries his best to be a good dog, but it's just so HARD! Kids will relate, and will also be entertained by the simple but catchy text and wonderful illustrations. Parents will relate to the difficulties in raising a dog (or kids, for that matter). Fans of Livingston Taylor (the singer) will recognize his sweet, wonderful way with words. Makes a great gift for new dog owners, too. Read it!

Can I Be Good? This is a delightful book for adults to read to children. It would make a wonderful gift to any adult who ownes a golden retriever. The illustrations are so soft and gentle in appearance that you want to pat the pages, or go out and buy a golden puppy.

Here is another fun book by the bright and funny singer-songwriter. The illustrations are colorful so kid readers won't lose interest. Add this to their "One Fish, Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish" and the "Bernstein Bears" collection. Liv's music fans will enjoy this too. If you like dogs or animals you will relate to this book. Nice birthday gift for that fussy kid that gets bored really fast!

Although the book was not new, it was in great condition. I was very pleased with my purchase of one of my favorite children's books.

I thought this book was very cute. I like how the author wrote it. I like how he didn't make it so simple it was boring but hard enough to challenge a child. I like how it is teaching a child something about dogs and their feelings and environment but indirectly. Overall i still think it was so cute.
