My boys love to read and this is their current favorite. We can't read it enough and I enjoy it with them. Great for beginning to learn, colors and even some simple nouns like dog, bee and ball. I just bought it as a gift for several friends.

A very cute book for tots -- it teaches colors, counting, and has a very cute dog as a main character. My son (almost 3) loves this book, especially when dog gets a spot of chocolate on his fur. I wish they showed a picture of the book. It's a very simple story, dog starts with one black spot on his otherwise white coat, and throughout the course of his day, he gets additional spots (each a different color) from various encounters, then he goes home and gets a bath (another part that my son loves). So, you can teach your children about colors, counting (you can count the spots) and the importance of taking a bath at the end of the day. I plan to use this book with my students (who have autism) when my son outgrows the book, or I may even get another copy of it. I highly recommend this book!

Dog's Colorful Day is a delightful book for ages 3 through 6. It provides very specific learning opportunities in the areas of color and number recognition, as well as beatifully illustrated, fun pictures. At the conclution of the book, the child's visual memory is challanged with a color and number review. I am a preschool teacher and always have fun reading this book to my classes. I can highly recommend it!

My three year old son STILL loves this book which we have been reading for over a year. He now counts to ten and knows all the colors. This book is enjoyable to read to him and I highly recommend it.

I bought this book for my mother, who is a preschool teacher at one of the local day care centers. She borrowed this book from the library and renewed it the maximum number of times before I offered to buy it for her. She is going to do a whole lesson plan around Dog and his colors.

The paperback version of the book is very large and easy for the kids to see at circle time. It has bright colors and clearly delineated pictures. If kids are going to be handling it themselves I'd recommend getting the hardcover version.

Such a cute book! I might have to get a copy for my own collection of children's books!

This is a cute counting book. This is another book I read to my new 3's and they adore it. I even created a felt board of it.

This book is a great way to review colors as well as a higher level thinking activity. We thought of things that could make a red spot, for example.

My 3-yr-old daughter brought this book home from school, and both she and her 19-month-old sister asked for it to be read over and over in the time it was at home. I bought it the day we returned it to school. They absolutely love it. It's a very good book for teaching colors and numbers (up to 10).

This is a fun book which combines teaching colors and counting. I purchased it because I wanted a book on mixing colors. It does not show colors mixing, but it is a fun book for primary aged children.

We have almost all the dog books and our daughter loves them. She is older now but still loves these books. They were a great way to teach her colors when she was a toddler. The series always has a fun story and wonderful eye catching art work. You can't go wrong with "Dog"!
