Rating:  Summary: A lot of fun Review: A delight for any young child, this wonderful book is filled with bright and cheerful illustrations , as well as fun rhyming. It is full of life and action in only 29 pages. It teaches small children, the meaning of words, as they are taught to the dog.Finally it teaches the meaning of procrastination, as the owner of the dog, with all his big dreams for his pet, on the last page says: 'I think I'll start next year'
Rating:  Summary: I love this book. Review: Beginning with "The first six words I'll teach my pup are 'dig a hole' and 'fill it up.'" this book is absolutely hilarious. I had never heard of it before my son came along, but it is one of his favorites and mine. It is whimiscal, clever, and just plain fun: "have a care, don't paint the mayor." The cadence and flow of the words are masterful. This nugget will surprise you. I hope you enjoy it.

Rating:  Summary: A funny and clever book Review: This is a hilarious book to read. Have you ever seen someone try to teach their dog to "kiss the goose" and "mop the moose"! It has such a great flow of words and kids will love it and parents will too! You will find your self reading this over and over. The illistrations are so cute and show the actions of the dog as you read. How would you teach a dog one-hundred words? Well read this book and find out!
Rating:  Summary: Simply the best! Review: This was my favorite book as a child, and still ranks pretty high on my list as an undergrad majoring in English. The narrative is constructed in rhyme, creating a easy-to-follow rhythm that helps kids follow along. I learned to read by memorizing this book as my dad read it to me and recognizing the same words in other books. The story is silly and engaging -- and highly memorable, as both my 44-year old father and I can still recite entire passages verbatim. The illustrations are bright and mirror the narrative beautifully. Basically, I can't say enough good things about this book -- along with "Are You My Mother?" and the works of Dr. Seuss, this book sparked a love of reading that has carried into my career plans. Children will love it and adults will not tire of reading it to them.
