he Dog
is an alphabet book with a difference - it's all in puppy talk, accompanied by the sweetest pictures of small canines (picked from a portfolio of over 100,000 photos that have gained worldwide popularity since they first appeared as postcards in Japan).
Y
oung doglovers will enjoy learning their ABC's in puppy lingo (and making the doggy noises), and their parents will adore the photos. It begins with a Bull terrier barking '
Arf! Arf!
' of course, and ends with a small Cavalier King Charles spaniel snoozing ... '
Zzzzzz
'. For those not too sure of their breeds, there's an index at the back, identifying which pup breed goes with which picture.
M
y favorites are 'L' for '
Lie down
' (a curly Poodle), 'P' for the Maltese's '
Paw
', and '
X marks the spot
' for the Pomeranian. But they're all much too cute for words.
