Though the illustrator’s style is pretty basic, with just a few bits of scenery in each panel, there are some lovely details that I really enjoyed. I thought it was great that the boy and his dog have very similar hairstyles. I also really liked that the dog had such a personality in his dreams, much like Snoopy has in his fantasies in the Peanuts comic strip.

Have you ever wondered what your dog dreams about when he sleeps? I mean, dogs must have lots of dreams considering how much they sleep. Jake's person wonders this very thing and let me tell you, it is quite the enlightening few chapters that follow. Jake dreams of eating, singing and being a hero. But they are not any dream you would expect a dog to have. Bright but uncluttered illustrations accompany this perfect comic book for early readers. The last page is particularly adorable.
This graphic novel for new readers is fun, but not very substantial. Kids will enjoy the bright illustrations and wacky humor. The text is easy to read and well laid out for new readers. But the stories just fall a little flat, relying on silliness that doesn't really stay with me. A fun read, but not one I can staying with kids.
A very simply formatted cartoon about a dog's dreams. It has a lot of clues that help a child anticipate what will happen. My son enjoyed the story but it does not have a great deal of depth. One of those occasions where you can be thankful for the library because it has only a couple of reads in it.

This silly picture book will answer the age old question "What is it that dogs dream about?"
Read this every night for a week now. I thought it might be too simple, but it's held up to many readings and is now memorized and hasn't lost its humor yet.
Another beginner reader graphic novel. Kids that love dogs will enjoy reading this dog's dreams.
Possibly the biggest waste of my time since Spy Kids.
Great new graphic novel series for early readers.
