K-Gr 2–One by one, children share why each of their dogs is the best. From being brave to liking hugs and being small to being helpful, every dog has a unique quality that makes their young human think it’s also the top quality. Each spread features short, simple sentences, and the repeated refrain of “My dog is best,” making this a very accessible title for beginning readers. Accompanying illustrations featuring Catrow’s colorful, kooky caricatures and wacky background antics will give the audience much to giggle over, and the featured children are diverse in terms of skin tone.
VERDICT A recommended purchase for early reader collections.
