review 1: "Every morning when I look in the mirror, I lick my own face because I am so happy to see me. I say, 'GOOD DOG. I AM A GOOD DOG.'" Children will be tickled by the humorous role-reversal in this story of adopting a pet. The scrabbly ink and watercolor illustrations radiate humor and pathos, perfectly complementing the text. A great choice for preschool through grade 2, the text is also early-reader friendly.
review 2: This little bulldog is so completely on his own he doesn’t even have a name. He doesn’t like to be told what to do. He can throw his own sticks and lick his own face. Being his own dog seems to be working out quite well for him until one day he has an itch he can’t scratch. So he lets a guy scratch his back. Of course the guy follows him home... more, which by the way is not too shabby. What follows is a fun play on role reversal as the dog trains the guy to do the things he likes to do. Along the way he even learns to put up with the guy’s annoying habits. Stein’s lively ink and watercolor illustrations show the high energy and emotions of one independent little dog with a big heart. “I’m My Own Dog” is definitely a keeper. less
