When I saw this book I immediately asked myself who this book would appeal too. I figured little boys love dogs and what better way to get boys interested in poetry other than poetry about dogs. And the picture on the front is pretty darn cute. I love that this book has different fonts and sizes for different words making emphasis on certain things. I also love all the names for the dogs in this book. Every poem in this book captures the true identity of each dog. The illustrations all capture it as well. The are beautiful pictures. I love the puppy picture where it looks like the paw prints are smeared all over the page. But I have to say my favorite poem in the book is "Mr. Beef" because I think it is hilarious that at the end is says, "Once I ate a PIE".

I'm glad you enjoyed this book as much as I did! I think that this book would definitely appeal to dog-lovers and especially children. I think it would be a great way to implement a poetry unit because it is humorous. It would be fun for students to type up their own poems and use different fonts to emphasize certain words just like the book. Great blog post! :)
