review 1: Fantastic! A family gets a new dog from the pound called Norman who does a delightly giggly rump-wiggly dance every time he's happy to see his family but no matter how hard they try to train him, Norman fails to obey. He's not very bright, they think. But imagine the family's surprise when they discover that the problem is that Norman speaks Chinese! what happens next? Read the book to find out the whimsically delicious ending! Qin Leng's illustrations perfectly match the charm and whimsy of Adderson's story
review 2: A boy and his family are at lost with the behavior of a dog that they have just adopted from an animal shelter. Little did they know that the dog only understood Chinese. Everyone starts taking Chinese lessons on Saturday mornings in the basemen
... moret of a church. Even with the difficulty that everyone had learning the language, the family continued with their lessons because they loved Norman (the dog) so much. less

What a cute twist on a dog and family book. Who knew that dogs can "speak" other languages too!

I love the idea of this book - what a cool premise! But unnecessarily long.

Norman is a very smart dog - so smart that he speaks Chinese!
