This is one of the cutest children's books I've read in a long time. The author is the same one that wrote all the Sarah Plain and Tall books. I was sitting in the dr.'s office and was chuckling to myself as I read this book. Go to Amazon.com for a good deal and get one for all the kids in your life - or for your inner child.

Once I Ate a Pie by Patricia MacLachlan contains poems about fourteen dogs. Personalities, foibles, likes, and dislikes are written from the dogs' perspective. The poems are free verse and quirky, delightful, and true to life. A good treat!

This is poetry for small children as told by various dogs. Some of the poetry is good, some less so. but the premise is good.
