highly recommended

In this simple adaptation of Michael Frith's classic Bright & Early Book?, I'll Teach My Dog 100 Words, a pet owner doesn't just teach basics like beg and bark, but also such unlikely canine commands as Shine my shoe! Kiss a goose! and Clean the zoo!

One of our son's favorite

I have both the board book and the original with 100 words and I can tell you that the board book is way better for the under 2 crowd. Not only are the pages rip-proof, but it also includes all the cutest rhymes (kissing goose, painting underwear, etc.) which children will love. This has been one of my son's favorites ever since he started looking at books and he is now almost 2. Are you kidding -- a dog doing all sorts of fun things like begging for ice cream, blowing his nose, mowing the lawn and taking a bath? What more could a toddler want from a book? This book has also held its appeal for the longest time of all our books, and as he gets older he notices other items which didn't interest him before. I never read the books to him because he didn't like me reading the words to books anyway (go figure!), but we do talk about the items in the book so he still learns all the words. Easily a 5 star book for our family!

I'll Teach My Dog a Lot of Words

ISBN 0375800999 - While this is an abridged version of the original, and those who are familiar with the original might not like the change, it's well worth picking up because it serves as a nice bridge for the littlest readers to those originals.

The narrator, setting out to teach his dog a lot of words, introduces the reader to those words, too! In rhyme, his dog learns actions and opposites, colors and more.

The book is small, easily held by small hands, but the boards are a little flimsier than many other board books, so expect a few bent corners. The glossy pages are easy to wipe clean of sticky fingerprints, which is a nice little plus. The illustrations flawlessly illustrate the text and, best of all, your young reader will be on his/her way to I'll Teach My Dogs 100 Words (ISBN 0001712772) in no time!

A great rhyming book

...The artwork is very bright and child-friendly, and the rhyming is equally friendly. Note the rhymes/story on each page are not as short as a Dr. Seuss book. The line I gave at the top of this review is typical of what you will read on a page. Young readers may want to move on faster than you want to read, but once you've read it a few times and memorized the story flow, it's easy to get through. A great addition to a collection for toddlers.

I'll teach my kid to read this book

It's a lot more fun to read to your kid if the book has humour and imagination like most of these beginner books do.Not the best but still pretty good.
