"Woof Woof Woof"
...for one smart dog,
"Yap Yapp Yap"
who is getting in someone's way...
someone who has something
very important to do tonight....
"Yap Yap Bark"
Will that dog ever be quiet?
"Yap Yapp
Woof Woof Yap
Yap Wuff Bark
Bark Bark Bark
Woof Bark Woof
Wuff Wuff Wuff
Wuff Wuff"
After all, it's supposed to be a Silent Night....
"Yap Yap grrrr Yapp"
A sly and clever Christmas tale like no other!
Sandy Turner's succinct bio reads (in its entirety) that he "draws bits of art for The New Yorker," but he's clearly been gone from the world of kids' books for too long. His idiosyncratic style certainly evokes The New Yorker's spare and often silly illustrations, but Turner's gift for composition, ingenious use of color (beige being the book's primary palette), and ample wit (barking being the book's sole dialogue) deserve this more generous treatment.
The story follows a vocal little dog who's desperately trying to alert its owners to a seemingly invisible intruder--a big-bellied guy who just happens to land on the roof in a reindeer-chauffeured sleigh. The brave pup finally does manage to nip off a swatch of the stranger's huge red pants, a magical patch of fabric that's ingeniously included as a real piece of felt on the book's end pages. (Ages 4 to 8) --Paul Hughes

5.0 out of 5 stars
Christmas Eve from the Dog's Point of View,
By rocco (Mendham, NJ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Silent Night (Hardcover)
How many Christmas books and stories are there? Now ask yourself how many are told from the family dog's point of view. And how many Christmas stories can be told without using a word? The illustrator of this book is so clever, he tells a complete, very touching, story of the mysteries and joys of Christmas with only barks, yaps, woofs and yipps! Kids will love this book because it confirms their belief in Santa and all that is magical about Christmas, and they will also love the dog's antics. My seven year old niece loves the book and wants it read to her every night!

This review is from: Silent Night (Hardcover)
Bought this book for my little granddaughter, but wrong choices, its more for graphic inspiration than a story.
