Description:

from the publisher

Our best friends are featured at their most stylish—and silliest—in this hilarious rhyming picture book that’s a perfect gift for dog lovers of any age.

Fancy dogs are elegant and distinguished, but of course, our lovable four-legged friends have many facets. They may have the chicest sweaters, but they still roll in the mud, drink from the toilet, and chew up our favorite shoes. However, that doesn’t make us love our furry friends any less. If anything, their behavior makes the perfect tale for a sweet little book sure to delight anyone whose best friend is fancy pants—and more.

My thoughts:

This is a very cute picture book with rhyming text. Young children and their adults will smile as the featured dog goes from being very “fancy” to doing more mischievous doggy things. The first time a child hears this story they may be surprised, in a good way, by the transition.

This title will make a good addition to the shelves of young dog fans.

Many thanks to NetGalley and NorthSouth Books for this title. All opinions are my own.

I love to read, recommend books and open the world of reading to others. I tutor to ensure that the next generation of readers will know the joys of a good book because their reading skills have improved. I am an avid reader, especially of mysteries and fiction. I believe that two of the world's greatest inventions were the public library and eyeglasses! View all posts by joycesmysteryandfictionbookreviews
