review 1: A boy loves to paint. He paints for years and years with his dog watching him. One day, he paints a picture of a building with his dog at the bottom of it. The dog loves it so much that the boy calls the painting, "My Dog Thinks I'm a Genius." When he comes back from school the next day, he sees that his dog has created his own painting. It is magnificent! The boy calls it, "My Dog is a Genius."Good for preschool storytimes.
review 2: A lovely book illustrated by Barroux about inspiration, art, and companionship. A young boy loves to paint everyday and has since he was five years old. Working on his latest painting, with help from his best friend and dog Louie, the boy puts the final touches on by adding Louie to the painting. In excitement Louie runs ... morearound the room barking, wagging, and kissing the boy. The boy titles his painting "My Dog Thinks I'm A Genius." One day when the boy returns from school he does not see Louie in the window as he usually does. When he enters his house Louie is still not insight. Angry, the boy heads for his studio hoping Louie has not messed with his paint. Upon enetering the studio the room is noticeably in a wreck, but the now multi-colored dog is excited to show the boy his own work of art. When the boy sees the painting he realizes his dog is an artist just like him. This new painting is title "My dog is a Genius."The book has a heart warming moral about the surprises of inspiration. The dog inspires the boy, the boy inspires the dog, and the tale invokes a sense of the importance of companionship to young readers. The reader can also find the great effect support and encouragement can have on young artists of every form. A recommended book for those looking to instill a spark of motivation in any reader. less
