Editorial Reviews

Review
"The first six words I'll teach my pup are dig a hole and fill it up!" The usual Bright and Early words and rhythm take on some needed new life when they are being taught to a dog; this particular mutt, whose progress is recorded on a clipboard as he goes along (". . . eat your food and follow me. Wow! We're up to forty-three"), becomes so admired for his smartness that he is worked up to a culminating performance of "tickle the pig and kiss the goose. . . feed the mouse and mop the moose!" Never mind that it's all the dog owner's daydream - "I think I'll start next year" he muses anticlimactically at the end, as boy and dog lie idly under a tree; at least that puts beginning readers who have completed the 100-word course ahead of someone. (Kirkus Reviews) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description
"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. Pictures that fully explain the text help even babies make the important connection between word and meaning. It's never too early to find out that 'Learning to read is fun'. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this book., June 17, 2000
By David Chaumette (Sugar Land, TX USA) - See all my reviews
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A classic, May 16, 2006
This was the first book I could read all the way through when I was in Kindergarten. It's still a great read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A lot of fun, March 7, 2003
A delight for any young child, this wonderful book is filled with bright and cheerful illustrations , as well as fun rhyming.
It is full of life and action in only 29 pages.
It teaches small children, the meaning of words, as they are taught to the dog.

Finally it teaches the meaning of procrastination, as the owner of the dog, with all his big dreams for his pet, on the last page says:
I think Ill start next year
