Book Description

Series: Bright & Early Books

"I'll Teach My Dog 100 Words" shows young children how easy it is to learn to read - even for a dog. The words in red are easily identified as the 'taught' words which cover basic concepts like colours and opposites - and of course, counting to 100. "Bright and Early" books help even the youngest child get ready to read. Simple stories and basic concepts are humorously presented in rhythm and rhyme.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this book., June 17, 2000

This review is from: I'll Teach My Dog 100 Words (Hardcover)

Beginning with "The first six words I'll teach my pup are 'dig a hole' and 'fill it up.'" this book is absolutely hilarious. I had never heard of it before my son came along, but it is one of his favorites and mine. It is whimiscal, clever, and just plain fun: "have a care, don't paint the mayor." The cadence and flow of the words are masterful.

This nugget will surprise you. I hope you enjoy it.

This was the first book I could read all the way through when I was in Kindergarten. It's still a great read.

I got this book in a bundle of books I found at the thrift store. Boy am I glad that I did!!!! My son, now 4, made me read this book nightly for a year! He can still quote the entire book! My daughter, age 3, has just started wanting this book and she loves it, too. As a parent, I'm delighted to read it so often! It has a great rythmic flow and is just plain cute. Most mothers I speak to have never heard of it and I urge them to get this delightful book. If your looking for another fun book, try Mo Willems' "The Pigeon Wants a Puppy!"
