A Day with Dogs

A Day with Dogs - Dorothée de Monfreid Actual Rating 2.5

Things that this book has going for it:
- It’s cute
- It explores daily activities but in a cute way, with dogs and the main characters
- There are pages within that include counting exercises, the alphabet, and the mixing of primary colours to create secondary colours
- It has common, everyday items for young readers to find
- It’s not something you see every day
- It has nice sturdy pages without them being that thick, board book type
- It’s a little bit Richard Scarry

Things this reviewer didn’t like about this book:
- It’s a little all over the place, what with the switching from daily activities to counting and listing animals, colours, names, types of transport, and so on
- It doesn’t seem to know exactly what it wants to be
- It doesn’t have much of a story to it
- There are depictions of anthropomorphised dogs eating things that are REALLY BAD for dogs to eat
