From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 1-A noted poet takes young readers along on a city dog's first trip to the country. The animal barely knows what to do with her freedom-she walks, she barks, she runs with abandon. She looks for familiar places-the sidewalk corners "where city dogs mingle and meet," but there are no boundaries for her here-"nothing but countryside rolling around." Kuskin's watercolor-and-ink drawings are childlike and simple. The soft pastel colors, with deeper shadings, add visual impact to the lines. Short portions of the lilting text are set in or beneath each of the illustrations, and are easily visible through the use of large type. Wide white space frames each picture; the sweeping double pages capture the countryside's vastness. The poem's uninterrupted text appears on the final page. Replete with the imagery one has come to expect from Kuskin, this story in verse is a treat.
