Review
Michael needs to get dressed so he involved Maggie his puppy in the daily ritual. What appears to be a cuddly preschool silly story becomes a concept book where colors and clothing pieces are identified. The text is simple, bold, and large enough for early readers to read alone. Words designating colors are printed in that color for easy comprehension.
Fleming employs her personal papermaking technique of pulp painting which enriches the pages while addings depth and definition to the book. Colors jump out of the page along with the joyous activity. Add this to all public library collections and gift to families with the perfect mix of toddlers and puppies.
Overall Book Score: very good
