I like Douglas Florians work and I think the kids would really like this one just for the subject matter. So four stars for that.


Only ... it should really be called more BIG cats and dogs. Cause that part seemed a little off ... poems about pet dogs and then poems about ocelots and lions and panthers.


My favorite? Probably The Chihuahua.

"Chihuahua seems a sorry sight:
So small in stature, weight, and height.
But it can bark a brouhaha:
Chi-hua! hua! hua! hua! hua!"


PS He actually had the proper upside down exclamation points in the last line. I just am too lazy to figure out how to put them in here in Goodreads. ;]
