Know More

After a woman unknowingly adopts a pack leader from the shelter, his furry friends follow in dogged pursuit in this rhythmical, rhyming picture book about doggy companionship, with art by the illustrator of Little Blue Truck.

Lonely Miss Mary longs for a four-legged friend. But when she makes the mistake of choosing the untrained basset hound Blue, no sooner does he howl AH-ROOoooooo! than her house has gone to the dogs!

Dalmatians and dachshunds, sheepdogs and setters, poodles and pups of all spots are ruling the roost. Can Sam the canine trainer teach this menagerie some pawsitive tricks?

A charmingly illustrated, rollicking text offers a doggone good time and a perfectly happy ending.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.
The first books I remember loving are "Harold and the Purple Crayon" by Crockett Johnson and "Animal Fair" by Alice and Martin Provensen. I also loved "Ferdinand" by Munro Leaf and Robert Lawson and "What Do You Say, Dear?" by Sesyle Joslin and Maurice Sendak. Later on I loved "Homer Price and the Donut Machine", "Alice in Wonderland", "Grimm's Fairy Tales", and one about bread dough that keeps rising and rising, I wish I could remember the name of it.
I've lived in big towns and small towns, in mountains and valleys, beside the ocean and across the ocean, and now I live in Taos, New Mexico in a house with big windows that look out on mountains and sagebrush. My husband, our dog, Harry, and I take a lot of long walks in the desert.We spend the Summer in a tiny cabin on a tiny island in a big lake in northern Minnesota. We've named the island Good Dog Island in honor of all the good dogs we've known.

Short-haired and feisty, Jessica Swaim claims to be part Jack Russell terrier, so is it any wonder that every book she writes features a dog or canine relative? Jessica's favorite activities include long walks on a loose leash, napping in front of the fire, and rolling belly-up in the grass. When Jessica jumps the fence in search of adventure, she invariably finds it, but the best part is always coming back home.

Bought for my daughter who loved the book when we got it out from the library and realised that it was not going to be practical to keep renewing it so that it could be read again and again for bed time. Lovely ryhmes, story and pictures.

Bassett Hound lovers and Rescue Dog lovers will love this book

I bought this children's book for my adult daughter, a basset hound owner (she has two) and a rescue dog lover. This books is funny, engaging, and heartwarming. It is the tale of a basset hound and his adventures trying to get adopted. All the other dogs in the pound get involved and the illustrations are a delight. I like the bright colors, bold lines, and the general happiness of the text and pictures. I would buy it again as a gift for a child or adult. The book's appeal is not limited to children.

best children's book ever! and fun for adults too.

10 stars! First of all this book is full of clever rhymes, which makes reading it so much fun. Also, it's the perfect length for kids. Long enough to feel like you really read a book (unlike some baby books) but short enough to keep my 4 month old's attention. The illustration is wonderful and full of color. Also, this book is extra fun for my family because we get our basset hound to howl at the appropriate spots. Couldn't love this book more!

It's a delightful story about dogs with a happy ending. What else needs to be said? It rhymes like Dr. Seus's stories, you can't put it down once you start reading it, and once you finish reading, you'll want to read it again and again. The illustrations are just as interesting as the reading. If you love kids and dogs, you must have this book, even if you don't think you love dogs, read it anyway, you may feel quite different when you're through. Judy

Fun to Read!

Reviewed in the United States on 9 May 2008

As a mom, I often find myself having to repeatedly read really boring, sometimes awkwardly worded books over and over. This one was a refreshing change. My toddler loves to hear it as much as I love to read it! I'm always happy when it is the book he chooses for story time. It is a cute story with pretty illustrations and the way the words flow is wonderful!
