"Dogs: The Sound of D" by Alice K. Flanagan is a great resource for your child when they're learning how to read and pronounce words...also the pictures that accompanied the sentence of each page was great!!! My daughter really liked it, was excited about going through it and could name all the colors.
The author also included a vocabulary list of the "d" words she used in the book - "dig" and "dogs". As a parent, I really thought this feature was a great complement to the book because I can use those words in making flash cards for my child for us to go over and over again.
I give it 5 stars.

Phonics series. Enjoyable title about dogs...offers one of the better flows of story than other titles in the series. Photos are both fun and touching.

Flo read this with confidence. Really improving. She loved the dog pictures - particularly the dog that gets lots of hugs.
