Rating: 5 stars
Summary: animal behavoir
Review: Do animals wear clothes, take baths or have jobs? Find out in this delighful humorous book with hilarious illustrations that rhymes as it goes along. Enjoyable to read and perfect for little ones that loose interest quickly.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: gorgeous book
Review: Dogs Don't Wear Sneakers is a gorgeous book. It is a series of ridiculous juxtapositions; my favorite of which being the wonderful illustration for "goats never shave." The pictures for "Moose don't go bowling" and "Fish don't eat bagels" made me laugh.

My wife (who is very practical) says that the book is "useful" because after you read the book to a child, you can then give them a sheet that says something like: --blank-- don't wear --blank--. The child may then fill in the blanks and draw their own ridiculous picture-thereby expanding their imagination.

Underhanded schemes and ulterior motives aside, this book is cute; and worth a look.

Summary: Good and bad
Review: I'd rather give this a 3.5...

Good: Charming drawings, fun whimsicality, nice rhyming

Bad: Storyline kind of dropped in and out for me. First it was about what doesn't happen "dogs don't wear sneakers", then it was about imagining things that don't happen and finally it mentioned dreaming. It just didn't quite flow for me.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good and bad
Review: My kids love Laura Numeroff books anyway, but this has to be one of their all time favorites. My two-year-old quotes this book all the time, and if we ever want to make her laugh, we just recite a few verses. It is perfect for bedtime, and one that definitely belongs in every child's library. The illustrations are wonderful, too.

Rating: 5 stars
