“The simplicity of the text makes this book accessible to almost all new readers and is the perfect way to start the transition from having books read aloud to them to reading books on their own…This simple yet highly effective early reader will greatly help new readers and can be a first ­purchase for all collections.”
—School Library Journal (starred review)

“Short vowels steal the show in a phonetic extravaganza for new readers…A surefire hit that will have kids telling these pups to ‘Go, dogs, go!'”
—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

“Full of humor, heart, and helpful phonics, this is a joyful introduction to reading that’s sure to leave kids smiling—and spelling, too.”
—Booklist
