My daughter (now 19-months old) absolutely loves this book. I'm not sure why, as I think this book is extremely dull and simple. But the fact is that this is probably one of her top 3 favorite books these days. The pictures are very colorful, and the theme is very simple.

Reader from England, I could not agree more. This book rules! Something about it...I don't know...it's just so funny. I must say while "Cat is Sleepy" is great, the other Kitamura books just don't live up to this classic tale of thirsty woe. Run don't walk to get this book.

This is probably the most entertaining book I've read in a long time. The illustrations are beautiful and Dog's expression must be seen to be believed - never has a portrayal of agony and, well, thirst been so vivid. The last 2 pages are a masterpiece of irony. I liked this book best. More than anyone else. More than you. Kitamura's other works are ace too! I read American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis and although very impressive it is not as fun as this, Satoshi Kitamura's relentlessly inspiring meisterwork. Ten out of ten!

Dog Is Thirsty (and it's companion books Duck Is Dirty and Squirrel Is Hungry) is a very cute board book. Your child (or inner child if you have no kids yet) will enjoy this book. The illustrations are hilarious and cute and the sentences are easy and fun to act out!

This is a great little book about a frustrated little dog. I think my 1 year old is understanding what is being portrayed in the pictures. It also has other animals that she is always sure to point out. The simple phrases are easy for her to listen to and the book is short enough to hold her attention.
