review 1: The illustrations in this book are superb and you fall in love with this dog upon opening this book. Duffy is up and ready in the morning for his breakfast and after that.....it's naptime. All through the day, we witness the life of Duffy as he falls asleep everywhere it is possible for Duffy to catch ten winks. Time for food, fun and naps! When his best friend gets home from school, it's fun time but then it is back to some serious napping before dinner. The poses and the way the family incorporates Duffy into their lives, you feel a great connection with Duffy. Just when the family is turning off the lights to call it a day...........
review 2: This is a cute, funny picture book. Duffy is a dog, and this book follows a typical day in his happy life. He e... moreats, plays and takes lots of naps -- a before breakfast nap, an after breakfast nap, a late morning nap, a mid-day nap, an early afternoon nap, etc. His best friend, a girl who could be anywhere between 6 and 12' comes home from school mid-afternoon and plays with Duffy. Then she needs to do her homework, and Duffy helps, by taking a nap (of course!) on her lap. The illustrations are well done, in a realistic style.Most pages have a clock somewhere in the illustration marking the passage of time during the day, but this definitely does not feel like a book written to teach kids how to tell time, (I actually didn't notice the clocks the first time I read the book, and the text only refers to late morning, mid-day, etc., not to hours and minutes.) A sweet, fun read.(Note: I received a free advance reading copy of this book from the publisher at an American Library Association Annual Conference. I was not required to write a positive review. Thank you, Blue Sky Press!) less
