How to Be a Good Dog by Gail Page (Bloomsbury 2006). ISBN: 1582346836
Imagine you are a dog, an oversized, exuberant, accidentally-misbehaving
dog. What would YOUR owner do? Unfortunately, Mrs. Birdhead banishes Bobo
to the doghouse when he picks her garden flowers, gobbles junk food on the
sofa, barks ceaselessly, eats the homework, and trashes the fridge. Poor
Cat is forlorn without her pal, so she undertakes to teach him to be good
with the help of an advice book. He learns to SHAKE, FETCH, HEEL, SIT (in
a multitude of charming poses), LIE DOWN, ROLL OVER. and STAY (in his cozy
twin bed with his flannel pj's on). Luckily, when he demonstrates, Mrs.
Birdhead not only offers Bobo re-entry into the house, she gives him what
he longs for most. She tells him he is a good dog! With simple yet
energetic illustrations, Bobo is every (good) dog. Kids are going to love
him and identify with him completely! [Suggested ages: 4-7]
