Amazon.com Review

Writing a fun, cute book about dogs (or cats) can be just another lazy swing at a big fat pitch, but Erika Oller and Lesléa Newman don't slack off a bit in their (yes, fun and cute) sequel to Cats, Cats, Cats!

Newman's lolling, rhyming words follow an urban pack through a day's adventures--from "a pickup game of hoops" to "climbing up and down a row of stoops." But the blue ribbon goes to Oller, for her personality sketches in watercolor that catch scores of varied canines in all their glorious dogness: a hilarious toothy dachshund attempts to gorge himself to proverbial dog heaven on a "big, delicious bone"; a bow-bedecked poodle pants approvingly at a hair stylist as the pack struts through a salon; a lively procession of dog-shaped blurs hurls itself into a lake for laps (before Newman finishes off the rhyme with "dogs taking naps").

Sure, kids can practice their counting as the band of dogs grows one by one to 10 (and then back again), but any education here will be incidental at best--or at least secondary to giggling and doggy impersonations. (Ages 4 to 8) --Paul Hughes

From Publishers Weekly

The sequel to Cat, Cats, Cats!, Dogs, Dogs, Dogs! by Leslea Newman, illus. by Erika Oller, chronicles dogs-about-town in translucent watercolors that give the pooches personality and their fur texture. Once the pack numbers 10, they play in the park, then count down, one by one, as each dog heads home.

What a fun book! Anyone who has played with a dog or been fortunate enough to have a dog or two as pets will truly appreciate this charming counting book. Simple rhymes begin with one dog all the way up to ten and then, back again! The illustrations are wonderfully warm ~ you just want to hug each pup! A marvelous addition to a child's library!

5.0 out of 5 stars For Dog Lovers Everywhere....., September 24, 2002

This review is from: Dogs, Dogs, Dogs! (Hardcover)

Author, Leslea Newman and illustrator, Erika Oller are back with an engaging canine sequel to last year's Cats, Cats, Cats. Meet these lovable pooches, and count them, with each page turn, as the pack grows from one to ten, and heads to the park for a rip roarin' dog day of fun. "Dogs chasing tennis balls, dogs chasing sticks/Dogs chasing butterflies, dogs doing tricks..." They drink from puddles and swim in the lake, dig holes in the grass, take naps, lie on their bellies, and roll on their backs. And after a busy afternoon, the pack heads for home where they dropped off each friend, one by one..... Ms Newman's joyous, rhyming text is filled with energy and rhythm, and complemented by Ms Oller's expressive watercolor illustrations. Little ones will enjoy lingering over each two page spread, infused with lots of canine personality and humor. Perfect for preschoolers, Dogs, Dogs, Dogs! is both a fun-filled counting book and dog lover's book, that shouldn't be missed.

This review is from: Dogs, Dogs, Dogs! (Hardcover)

I purchased this book for my goddaughter Rylee after her enthusiastic response when I read it to her (having checked it out from the library originally.) She loves dogs, so I thought she'd enjoy it...but her response was so sweet-she kneeled in my lap,patted my cheeks, and kissed me! She is learning the names of different breeds and it's fun for her to find the dachsund, since she has one. I also recommend Cats! Cats! Cats! by the same author.
