review 1: "Dogs on the Bed," by Elizabeth Bluemle, is a rollicking, goofy, rhyming account of what happens when you have a bunch of dogs in your bed. It also made me miss having a dog, while being glad I'm not dealing with a bed-stealing, shedding, slobbery, fur furnace any more. A mixed bag! The illustrations are absolutely charming and expressive and the writing is playful and fun. This is a book that lends itself well to reading outloud, and expressively. I think the people who will most appreciate this book are people who love dogs and have more than one of them. A really fun read!
review 2: The pictures work really well for the story. Thumbs up to Wilsdorf for the illustrations. The text, however, is a little hard. The rhymes can be gagging at times: rodeo with t... moreo-and-fro-deo with pill-e-ow with heave-ho. Also, other terms are perhaps out of reach for the picture book crowd, like the difference between "in" and "inn" and what an "ottoman" is. The dogs are the stars, and it is worth a few minutes to admire the illustrations. less
