Judith Henderson

This is a Dog Book! by Judith Henderson is a great, comical book about a bunny trying to convince a whole bunch of dogs that he is a dog. He goes through a series of tests to determine if he is a dog and if he can be in the book.

I found this book funny, light and a great read. It's highly amusing and easy to follow. Not only that, but it kept me interested the whole time with the funny plot and simplistic illustrations. They work really well with the story!

Children and adults alike will enjoy this fun book. It's relatively short but it's lots of fun!

Four out of five stars.

Thank you to NetGalley and Kids Can Press for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.… (mais)

I LOVE the idea of the book but the execution could have been better. The "big" words chosen were okay, I liked the use of "purloined" but "discombobulated" and "bamboozled" seemed forced. A lot of the writing sounds forced. Instead of creating a natural story and adding a large word, it seemed the word was chosen first and then the story written. The dialogue between Cris and Crat (stupid names) is the same drivel that can be found in any cut rate cartoon. I wanted to like this book because I am a lover of big words, but the final product was a disappointment.… (mais)
