 Loading...  | Full Text Reviews: Booklist - 11/01/2021 What do dogs love? Just about everything, as this simple, fulsome valentine to the canines in our lives tallies up: car rides and walks, toys and naps, meeting people and other dogs, food (“Most food. / Dog food, tasty treats, / biscuits and butter, / chicken and cheese, / other dogs’ food, / your food. / Watch out!”), and even cats (”Sometimes”). In Meisel’s suitably waggish cartoon illustrations, dogs by the pack in a great variety of breeds and mixes trot, flop, drool, cavort, and dash about, tangling their leashes as their owners—one beaming child in particular who joins three pooches in a final cozy sprawl—look on happily. Most of all, of course, “DOGS LOVE YOU, / all the time.” A doggy delight, as energetic and appealing as Sue Stainton’s I Love Dogs! (2014) illustrated by Bob Staake, and a fine complement to Chris Raschka’s wordless but emotionally epic A Ball For Daisy (2011). - Copyright 2021 Booklist. Loading...
