review 1: A tribute to the family dog, and a fun read for puppy loving children. The language was at times awkward, and other times flowed. It attempted at times to be lyrical, then would fail. But the illustrations were smart and funny and my daughter loved pointing out the dog on each page. Bought on a whim since this book supports Canine Companions for Independence (CCI), and my daughter can't resist a "puppy book". It's a win-win, even if it sounds a bit strange.
review 2: I, Trixie, Who is Dog, Dean Koontz (Putnam/Penguin, 32 pages, 2009, $16.99, ages 5 and up) I, Trixie, is another must-have book in the Trixie ‘series’ (some were even written by Trixie the Golden Retriever herself).Although it is hard to make absolutely every single page in a children’s book ... morespecially fun and funny and unique and thought-provoking, Koontz manages to do a good job on many pages – enough to make the book memorable.With the unique sentence structure (or unstructure) that is unique to Trixie and which drives this reviewer crazy at times, Trixie is glad she is a dog and sorry that you aren’t but there have to be people to feed and pet and scratch dogs, and there have to be cats to entertain dogs, and there have to be sheep so dogs can herd them, and there have to be coyotes to sell milk shakes in cactus cafes. The lesson here: Whatever you are is the best thing to be!Your child will soon have this book and its rhymes memorized! less
