Yip! Snap! Yap!
PreS-Gr 1-In this colorful picture book, children are invited to make "-noise and do some doggy stuff!" Double-page spreads with bright backgrounds show various canines doing what they do best. Young readers can "Join in with barking dog-Arf! Woof! Rruff," "Chow down with hungry dog-Chomp! Munch! Chew," or "Curl up with sleepy dog-Hrumph! Zzzzz! Shew-." Although the text is a bit forced, Fuge's canines are wonderfully illustrated, with charming, expressive faces that add life to the story. Given the abundance of good children's books featuring these pets, consider this title as a supplemental purchase, likely to please die-hard dog lovers.-Melinda Piehler, North Tonawanda Public Library, NYCopyright 2001 Cahners Business Information, Inc.
