Review
"The witty, believable portrayal of canine thoughts and behavior will amuse readers, if not their pets. . . . The relatively simple text and larger type could land the book on beginning reader shelves or in the early chapter book area. In either location, children will be happy to find this funny book of dog stories." and#151;Booklist (3/15/00) Booklist, ALA

Synopsis
Did you ever wonder why your dog sleeps so much? Perhaps your dog is bored. Maybe it's raining and your dog can't go outside. On days like this, you can always read a book. But most dogs can't read, even the smart ones. There is something really nice you can do for your dog, however. Read your dog the stories in this book -- and always remember to pet your dog while you read!
