Dog

PreSchool-K–This sturdy offering presents full-color photos of
charismatic canines embellished with pull tabs and tactile (mostly
furlike) textures. The brief, rhyming text highlights various critters
and their behaviors, making comparisons and contrasts. On one page, a
wheaton terrier (Little dog) is posed next to an English mastiff (Big
dog) and a nervous-looking Chihuahua (Teeny dog quakes), while
opposite, a neatly coiffed schnauzer backs away from a damp mutt in a
tub and the verse finishes, Dry dog,/Wet dog–/shake,/shake,/shake! (a
pull tab moves the bather's head from side to side). Unfortunately,
some of the concepts are not as clearly presented. One spread reads:
Happy dog,/Sad dog,/Friendly dog licks./Slobber dog,/Pant dog,/Drooly
dog sticks! Aside from the awkward phrasing, children may not notice
that the aforementioned pooch has a touchable sticky tongue (it's
rather small) and miss the point completely. A page showing a Lab puppy
in a squatting position declares, All dogs poop, while the English
bulldog standing nearby lifts its leg–with the help of a pull
tab–revealing, All dogs pee. The book ends with foldouts that introduce
each pet by name and breed. Leave this one for the bookstore crowd.
