Review Quotes

"A recommended purchase for early reader collections."--School Library Journal

"Many of the children and dogs are appealingly and hilariously caricaturelike, while others are simply sweet, and the wonky background illustrations of toys and other accouterments of childhood will help keep the interest of young ones working their way through the letters."--Kirkus Reviews
