SUMMARY: [From barnesandnoble.com] Gus herds his people like sheep.

Abby loves borrowing slippers.

And once, Mr. Beefy ate a pie.

It's a dog's life. Filled with squeaky toys, mischief, and plenty of naps. Every dog has a tail to wag and a tale to tell. Patricia MacLachlan and Emily MacLachlan Charest asked this collection of canines to speak up with their own words, barks, and yips.

THOUGHTS: This book was cute. It would be perfect for a little kid who loves dogs. The poems encapsulate "doginess" very well. Also, the illustrations made me want a puppy.

RATING: 5/10 [Meh.]
