Gone to the dogs...

GOOD DOG, by Maya Gottfried
No AR Quiz
Recommended Interest Level: Elementary

This adorable collection of free verse poetry devotes a double page spread each to seventeen different breeds of dogs. Each poem and illustration captures the essence of the dog’s personality to a tee. Just to mention a few, there’s the obedient Westie, the tenacious Chihuahua and the lovable, drooling Bulldog. There’s a hyper, excited Boston terrier and a Pomeranian who is quite put out over her over-puffed hairdo. My favorite, though—probably because I’ve had a few of these over the years, is the lovable mutt at the end. This book is sure to be a hit with dog-lovers everywhere. It will make a great read-aloud.
