Review
Familiar tale of a boy and his dog - and the boy's belief that HIS dog is the best. This is a very simple story of friendship. The young narrator's statements of his dog's many virtues (all prefaced by "My dog is the best") are belied by the illustrations of the dog sleeping. The simple illustrations with lots of white space capture the exuberance of the narrator and the sleepiness of the dog. In the end the tables are turned and the dog is ready to play as his very young owner is down for a nap.
This is a very sweet story - simply told and illustrated.
Overall Book Score: good
